I heard a story about a family whose son grew critically ill, and he was dying at home. The conversation between the little boy and his father went something like this: The boy asked his dad, *Dad, am I going to die?* The father said, *Son, someday you will die. But don*t worry about it. After you die, it will be all over. You won*t feel anything; you won*t know anything; you will have forgotten the pain and the sorrow. I love you, son. Just hold on son. Then after a while, it*ll be over.* The son said, *But father, I*m afraid, and I don*t want to die. I need some help.* And the father said, *Son, I love you. Just hold on.* The boy responded, *Father, you*re telling me to hold on, but there*s nothing to hold onto.* When you know Jesus and those chilly waters of death touch you and the winds are blowing, YOUR ANCHOR WILL HOLD YOU. You will have a rock-solid faith. That*s what hope means. Conversion brings conflict; conflict teaches constancy; constancy builds character; and character enables us to trust God in the darkest storm. Aren*t you glad there is a certain hope? Who in your life does not have the anchor of the hope of the Gospel? How has this anchor changed how you handle the crises and worries of life? Write down some verses that remind you there is a secure hope in God.
