More From Kathy Reagan Eyler

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

The meditation I wrote was about my feelings of insecurity involving my salvation. Since early childhood, I have dealt with doubts because somehow I got the gospel truth confused with the lies of the devil. Somehow, even though I spent every Sunday since birth in church, it was a long time before the truth I heard with my ears made it into my heart.

Now that I know and have accepted this truth, I am filled with thankfulness for everything that has happened up to this seventh decade of my life. Even though I lived for many years in a dysfunctional (on my end) relationship with God that resulted in fear of death and destruction and years of inner mental turmoil, I am thankful today. Today I have peace; today I have gratitude; today I have the security of knowing that I belong to the family of God. And today I am especially thankful for the part of God’s family that is represented by the Upper Room Family (URF). I thank all of you who share meditations and comments. And thank you to everyone for all the prayers that are offered daily on behalf of others. It is amazing how many times I am reassured by a meditation or a comment about a meditation that is specific to whatever the world is throwing my way.

Thank you, URF. I love you. Please pray for my continued growth in Jesus, and I will pray for yours. Be blessed.

In Christ,
Kathy

P.S. I post comments under the pen name “Lotea,” which is the acronym of “leaning on the everlasting arms.”
