9-30-11 “He did deliver me from bondage” p.
93, Day 4
I like 3 N 27:7-8 to answer her question. There is also a scripture that says there is
no other name given whereby man can be saved except in and through the name of
Christ. I think for those that believe in
Christ, they would not argue this point.
What does seem to be a more revealing question in the world today is “Can
we be happy in this life without Him?”
I would be very interested to get others points of view on this, even
those who do not do not believe in Christ.
It has been my experience that as humans, we are
all made up emotionally of 4 basic needs.
One of these needs is to love, and to love others we must first to learn
to love ourselves. For me, I could not
love myself until I knew of God’s love for me.
So for me, I cannot know who I am without my relationship to God. It’s as if there was created in me a homing
beacon. Or I also see it like a hole
that we have a great need to fill. We
search aimlessly in life for the right peg to this hole, until we find the true
Living Water and the Bread of Life. I
have heard others express an emptiness that they don’t think will ever be
filled. I have seen those who turn to
drugs or alcohol to try to shove a square peg in a round hole, just to do
ANYTHING to fill the desperate emptiness they have- the hole in their
heart. Without the answers God has given
me, I would probably be doing the same thing today. I hurt for the pain they suffer. I long to help them understand that they are
more than they think they are, but I know that lack of belief because of
Satan’s chains keeps them from believing.
But there must be a way to help them break free. If they decide to try from the inside
out, then there is a way. I have
traveled it and I know it’s possible.
For me there is no other hope than through Him who created my soul, who
knows and understands all the parts and pieces that I cannot quite
explain. He created the need in me and
He is the only one who can fill it.
