A Cold Breeze

We confess to be believers, followers of Jesus Christ, and yet, often we feel a cold breeze of unhappiness folding down on us.

A long time ago Jesus told His disciples what would happen in the days we are living in now. (Matthew 24)

He told them about the wickedness of our world causing the love of many to grow cold. (Mat 24:12)

Interesting to note is that the Greek word used for “growing cold” means, to gently blow over something with the purpose of cooling it down.

The wickedness in the world is blowing over us to cool down our love for Jesus.

When something good happens, we have an uplifting or energising experience.

On the other hand, however, all the corruption, unfairness and wickedness, have a negative effect on us all, cooling down our love.

We cannot move out of this world to escape the cold breeze.

We want to experience Jesus but the wickedness has caused many of us to have lost the assurance of His presence.

Some try to find Him at other places, without success. Some look for Him in secret spots or perhaps an inner room somewhere, all in vain. (Matthew 24:26)

Some have grown too weary to carry on. Many have given up!

Take heart, although we may not be able to see Him with our eyes, we can talk to Him, listen to Him and love Him because He is in our hearts. He promised that He would never leave nor forsake us. (Heb 13:5)

Feel the warmth of Jesus’ love covering us from all sides.

Let the breeze of corruption, perversion and wickedness pass by without effect.
