I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE Beginning and the End, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. This planet you inhabit is in such a big mess that sometimes you feel overwhelmed. Just watching the news on television can make you anxious. World events and economics seem to be spinning out of control more and more. This is why it's so very important to focus on Me and consider who I am: the Beginning and the End. I -- the Creator of this plant -- transcend time. I know the end of the world's story just as well as I know its beginning.
I not only know how everything will turn out, but I am absolutely Sovereign. I am the Almighty; nothing is beyond My control. The more helpless you feel as you face the challenges in your life, the more comforting it is to trust that I am all-powerful. Remember that I am also compassionate. I am the Lord who comforts His people and will have compassion on His afflicted ones. You can transcend your troubles because I am both powerful and compassionate. So you have good reason to rejoice; sometimes you may even burst into song!
- Jesus
