The Future

There is a lot of talk about the future and there is also written a lot about the future. Only yesterday I picked up a very interesting folded leaflet with cartoons here in town. It says there the FUTURE can be bright for you too. On the other side it talks about changing attitudes and changing lives.

It goes on to say that domestic violence is wrong. Don’t put up with this: Words are as cruel as fists. Don’t bully your children. Controlling money is wrong. On the next page it talks about the Rights-There is a safe place to stay. The police can help. The law is on your side. Help is a phone call away.

Let’s break the cycle is another headline. You have a right to be save. Do you need support? You can change. Crisis Contacts are given. Other contacts are given. And on top of that you can write your local contacts on the leaflet yourself.

That is all very well!

Only one contact, the most important contact, is left out. And of course there is a really good safe place to stay! The cycle surely needs to be broken The FUTURE can be bright for all of us. But there is only one way. –John 14:6– Our lives can change by calling out for help to the living God and repenting of our sins.

Long ago I read that there is a phone number, not in the phone book, but in the Bible, namely Psalm 50:15. Easy to remember. It says there:

…., and call upon me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you,

and you will honour me.

I have called that number. I know it works. It works for me. It will work for you too, if you come with all your heart.
