1) "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. John 14:1 - It has been years that mark the dark anniversary of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001. It is like yesterday in our memories. Who can forget that tragic day as the Twin Towers came crashing down from mid air, in a sea of smoke as thousands lost their life. Jesus tells His disciples to not let their hearts worry. He explains to them that His Father's house has plenty of room for them. I sometimes think, how many of those who died knew Jesus as their Savior? Surely they were not all Christians. At 7:58 a.m. United Airlines, flight 175 departs from Boston for Los Angeles, carrying 56 passengers. At 7:59 a.m. American Airlines, flight 11 departs from Boston for Los Angeles. At 8:01 flight 93, United Airlines left Newark, N.J. and heads to Los Angeles, carrying 38 passengers on board. At 8:10, flight 77 departs from Washington's Dulles International Airport for Los Angelas. It carried 58 passengers. Daniel 9:26 tells us that war will continue until the end. Destruction is all around us! Jesus tells us not to let our heart be worried for he has prepared a place for us. Heartaches that could be heard a resounding cry all over the world found little comfort on 911. And though over 3,000 innocent people parish on that day, which included 300 fire fighters and 40 police enforcement officers, families torn apart, never to be the same, we are shown the compassion of Jesus in Matthew 9:35-38, as we are to show compassion to those who are spiritually lost. There are others who want to kill and torture Christians and Jews for the sake of their beliefs. We witnessed this on 911. The wars against the faithful followers of Christ, doing the Fathers will, goes on until the end, and we are not to worry, because the truth in love that we have in us is Jesus. He is the truth, the Light, the Way, the Only Way. No one comes to the Father, if not through the Son first. It is the faith that these people who are left behind have to hold on to. Our Father has prepared a place for us as He did the disciples and as He did the fallen victims of that tragic day we call 911. Remember them in all blessings this month and always through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.
