When everything seems to fall apart

Just thought I'd share this video that recently resonated within my heart. I know from personal experience that God can bring such incredible joy in the midst of difficult circumstances.

How can I know God personally?

Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me."
What did he mean?
Read these verses in the Bible to find out. Everything you need to know can be found in one book of the Bible - Romans.

Romans 3:10 - "No one is righteous - not even one."

Romans 3:23 - "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard."

Romans 5:8 - "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 10:9-10 - "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved."

Romans 12:1-2 - "And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

Living life with Jesus is indescribable. Nothing in this world compares with Him. As I read His Word, I continually discover more and more about Him and yet there is always more to learn. He loves me. He guides me. He shows me how to love. He is my joy, my peace, my comfort, my provision, my Friend, my Savior, and so much more. I hope you find Him in your journey.

Please feel free to respond or to ask questions.

BOOK DESCRIPTIONS

SOME THINGS ARE JUST HARD: What would you ask God if the unthinkable happened in your life? What if He answered? When faced with losing my dad, I asked God what He wanted to teach me and He answered me back using the rock I held in my hand. "Some things are just hard." Only God could be so profound. Join me as I walk down hard paths leaning on Him for strength and find Him strong in your own life.

CAPTIVE AUDIENCE: Daniel has lived a protected life in a loving Christian home and is now a college student. When he witnesses a murder, he is kidnapped and held captive. His life hangs in the balance as his friends and loved ones attempt to solve the mystery of his disappearance and rescue him. Time is running out and darkness threatens to overwhelm Daniel's soul.

LAZARUS: When Jesus brings Lazarus up from the dead in Bethany, no one knew that his resurrection would result in his eyewitness accounts of history. During the days before Jesus returns to earth, Lazarus recounts his experiences and reflects on why he has been left behind to tell his story.

THE BIBLE IN A NUTSHELL: The Bible does not have to be difficult to understand even if you were not raised in church. Hear the story of the Bible told not from the perspective of a biblical theologian but from a layperson raised in church and on the Bible. Each chapter is a summary of one or more books of the Bible told in easy-to-understand language.
