Life is filled with paradoxes: farmers preserve and multiply their grain by burying it; serotinous pinecones must be melted by searing flames for the cones to open and release their life-giving seeds.

Love and the expression of love are absolutely vital to our existence. During our current time of physical distancing and social isolation, the number of adults experiencing depression has tripled in Canada since the lockdown measures began. Like ants need a colony, people need a family. Created in the image of God, humans were not designed to dwell in solitude; we were created to be social beings. You are like a cell phone — always looking for connections. Without companionship, no matter how much money you make or how beautiful your house or how perfect your job, you can’t be completely happy. God knows that. He designed you that way.

Fear is a very debilitating emotion that sometimes takes a strangle hold of your life, and you can even become afraid of God. The Bible identifies a super power that enables you to overcome all your fears. 1 John 4:18 says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear.” Take a look at how God’s perfect love is able to drive out all your fears and also give you perfect peace and rest.

She was once a shy young person, who resisted the call of God upon her life, but today Charlee Blabey is a chaplain and Bible teacher at a Christian high school, Kingsway College, in Oshawa, Ontario.

The light of the world had gone out, and without Christ, the earth was blackness and cold as winter. While He lay in the tomb, His name was on the lips of those who had placed their hopes in Him, and the streets were filled with mourning. However, when our LORD erupted from the tomb, New Life burst from the dead earth glorified! The heavy stone and the Roman guard of one hundred soldiers were powerless to confine the Lord of Life within the stone-cold crypt. As Christians contemplate the death and resurrection of our LORD and Saviour, Jesus Christ, we believe that one day soon, the death, darkness and coldness of winter will end. Because Jesus lives, we can face tomorrow.

God is “I AM” in the past. God is “I AM” in the present, and God is “I AM” in the future. The past, present, and the future are the same to God. He’s there! Wherever you are - He’s there! He sees the most remote events of past history, and God sees the far distant future, into the endless ages of eternity, as clearly as you see the road in front of you when you’re driving your car. And He is closer to you than you ever realized!
