Dear Beloved,
My dad was a fireman all his life. And I, like most boys, wanted to grow up to be a fireman. I think even boys whose dads aren’t fireman often want this life of riding on bright red fire engines, putting our fires and saving people from their fiery fate. Even though I don’t don a fire helmet or ride in a red fire engine, sometimes I feel like a fireman going hither and yon putting out all the problem fires that seem to pop up in my life. Maybe you feel this way too. Going from “fire” to “fire”, or from problem to problem each and every day. It’s easy to get into problem solving mode and forget that we have a Savior waiting to help us and just to be near us. Read on and know that He is always there for you, ready to give you peace and help you with your problems. Hugs, Scott

You Are Mine For All Time ; nothing can separate you from My Love. Since I have invested My very Life in you, be well assured that I will also take care of you. When your mind goes into neutral and your thoughts flow freely, you tend to feel anxious and alone. Your focus becomes problem solving. To get your mind back into gear, just turn toward Me, bringing yourself and your problems into My Presence.
Many problems vanish instantly in the Light of My Love, because you realize you are never alone. Other problems may remain, but they become secondary to knowing Me and rejoicing in the relationship I so freely offer you. Each moment you can choose to practice My Presence or to practice the presence of problems.
Romans 8:38-39: 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Exodus 33:14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you , and I will give you rest.”
