This really is 'food for thought'!!!   A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said , "Lord , I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like." The Lord led the holy man to two doors.   He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked inside. In the middle of the room was a large , round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew , which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.   The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.

That’s why He created you—first and foremost, for fellowship.   I t’s as simple as opening your heart of faith to Him. If you have faith in Jesus today then, just like Abraham, you are God’s friend. And the Bible says that God is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. That means He is faithful. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He is with you always.

Let that sink down into our heart s today. The next time the enemy tries to tell us that we are alone in this world, or that no one else understands what we are going through, we can say out...
