THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
A sociologist was visiting in the backwoods of a foreign country, gathering information for a study. She came upon a tribe of people who lived in huts, bathed in a creek, and washed clothes in the same creek.
Some children were playing nearby, and she began to take pictures. The children began pointing at her and yelled loudly in their language. Quickly she put the camera away.
Seeing the chief nearby, she went to explain. In great detail she told him that she did not want to capture the souls of the children, and excitedly shared the operations of the camera.
Several times the old chief began to speak, but the sociologist just kept talking.
Finally, she stopped.
And the chief said, "The children were only trying to tell you to take the lens cap off."

Often we fail to avail ourselves of the goodness of our Lord because we fear.
But God promises His presence and help when we come to Him.
Perhaps, as you read this, you have never surrendered your life to Jesus.
"Fear not," for His love invites you.
"Fear not," for He desires your fellowship.
He has already paved the way for your submission to Him by paying the ransom of sin in His own blood.
He will hold your trembling hand, and will give you His gracious help.>br?
Take off the lens cap, and allow God's camera of His Holy Spirit to capture you as you are.
He will help you to understand unseen faith which will hold you near to Him.
Perhaps, Christian, you fail to be involved in the things of Christ deeply because you fear.
Fail not to pray deeply, for He has promised to be WITH you.
Fail not to study His Word, He has promised to TEACH you.
Fail not to be active in His church, He has promised there a FAMILY.
Fail not to testify to others of His great love, He has promised to GIVE you speech for that purpose.
Take off the lens cap, allow God's camera of His Holy Spirit to capture you as you are.
He will hold your hand and help you to become what He wants you to be.
"Fear not" Christ my friend.
He IS love!
He WILL help!
Love ya,
Bruce
