Love for the Lost and Found

Trusting God often means releasing the need to control every outcome. It’s a surrender of our plans, fears, and what we think should happen, knowing that God’s understanding and ways are higher than ours. When we choose trust, we invite peace into situations that could otherwise overwhelm us.

Elisha’s calling and early ministry reflect his deep humility and faithfulness. He willingly leaves behind wealth, family, and comfort to follow Elijah, serves with patience, and remains loyal even in testing. He doesn’t demand power or recognition but seeks God’s help to fulfill his role. Through each step—from his apprenticeship to his prophetic ministry—Elisha shows humility in placing God’s mission above personal gain and remains faithful in delivering God’s word and guidance.

The Rapture is an incredible promise we hold onto as believers—a moment when Christ will come to take His followers to be with Him. The Bible describes this in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: “the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God.” Those who have died in Christ will rise first, and then those of us who are alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. What a beautiful reunion that will be!
