George Anthony
Canady
May 28, 1970 – September 19, 2021
Let not your heart be troubled; you believed in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.&
(John14:1-3)
STAY CALM IN YOUR HEART... AND CARRY ON! Having experienced trouble in His own life, the Lord Jesus knows that we all have trouble. He was not rebuking a lack of faith when He said, " Don't let your heartbe troubled, " but He was offering a reasoned alternative. Jesus promises a place, apurposeand a plan all dependent on His person. Your troubled heart should be calmed by the assurance that He is able to do all that He has promised you. Your part is to confidently act on His promises.
