Many have turned away from Christ, but do you have any reason to? Hasn't Jesus always been enough for you? He asks today, "Have I been a wilderness to you?" When you truly trusted Him, have you ever been let down?

Hasn't He always been a kind friend, and hasn't your simple faith in Him brought you peace? Could you even imagine a better friend? Don't trade the true for the false. What in the present would make you leave Christ?

When life's pressures weigh us down, we find comfort in resting in our Savior. Today, our joy is secure in Him, so why change? Who gives up gold for worthless things? We'll remain with our Lord, for no brighter love exists.

And for the future, what could make you abandon Him? Nothing. If life is long, He remains constant. If we're poor, Christ makes us rich. When we're sick, Jesus comforts us. In death, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. We stand with Peter: "Lord, to whom shall we go?"
