3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers."There are those days... when it seems that life gets so hard, you're not sure how much more you can take! Today's verse is John speaking to us, calling us beloved, and saying that he prays, that in all respects we may prosper and be in good health, just as our soul prospers! What a wonderful thought but the question is, is our soul prospering? Regardless of what the world throws at us, we can find comfort and even prosper in God through the struggles, through the pain. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a job lost, kids going crazy without school, not enough to pay our bills, God wants nothing more than to bless us but we have our part to play as well. Turning to God and reading His Word, we can find the strength where our soul will prosper. It was shortly after having to retire due to an injury that I found no matter what life threw at me, as long as I had my relationship with God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and some godly friends and family, life was going to be ok! Turn to Him during our times of struggle and He will prosper our souls and our life! peace, tom
