Christ, an Anchor for Our Souls

Our strongest and most enduring drive is the will to live a healthy, long life. Paralleling the will to live is the drive to achieve and have children, who become our family and legacy. We strive to help our children develop character traits and values that contribute to the well-being of society and the good earth.

Achieving these goals often becomes the source for conflict. While it's difficult to understand what provokes conflict, we can certainly realize its presence and power. Conflict will frequently focus on unmet needs and expectations. Families typically expect each member to be thoroughly mature and responsible but disappointingly discover it isn’t true.

Time and change determine if expectations will be met. When expectations fail and discouragement abounds, our hope still can be anchored in the giver of all life, the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” meaning Jesus will provide resolutions to whatever conflict you have to face. Attach your faith to this truth.

God cannot tell lies! And so his promises and vows are two things that can never be changed. We have run to God for safety. Now his promises should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us. This hope is like a firm and steady anchor for our souls.

~Hebrews 6:18-19 Contemporary English Version
