I assure You

​The thief on one side of him mocked him.

Ha - so you're the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself, and us too if you really want to show off some magic. 🤣

The thief on the other side, he simply asked to go with him.

Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 🙏❤️

Jesus didn't lash out at the mocker; he simply said yes to the man looking for assurance.

"I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise."

If ever there is a day to find assurance, today is that day.

In your feelings of being unloved, today is the day to be assured you are loved like no other.

In your feelings of loneliness, today is the day to be assured one like no other accompanies your every breath.

In your feelings of inadequacy, today is the day to be assured in His name you are capable of steps beyond any step you've imagined.

In your feeling that the thief on the cross is a saint compared to you, today is the day to be assured that at the same time Jesus was assuring that thief of a home he was assuring you:

Today you will be with me in paradise.

Today is a great day to quit waiting on assurance and turn to it.

We don't have to wait until we're hanging on the cross for our assurance - our assurance lives inside us.

Every day.

Every breath.

Full of love and full of heart, always ready to say the words to us.

I assure you.
