| | | | | Things Are Going to Get Better – Ken Barnes
What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31 So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. (Matthew 10: 29-31 NLT)
For Christians, things are going to get better because we are more valuable to God than a flock of sparrows.
On returning from church this past Sunday, I listened to Christian radio, and a song caught my attention. It was "Sparrows and Lilies" by Pat Barrett. The next day I found it on YouTube and played it repeatedly.
As I listened to the lyrics, I thought about people on my prayer list with the agony and hardship they were experiencing. People who are fighting various types of cancer, constant pain, struggles with anxiety, betrayal and divorce, hereditary disorders, loved ones dying in human terms too soon, and family and friends approaching a Christ-less eternity. As the songwriter says, "I know it's hard." I told myself that these people need to hear this song's message—things will get better. I decided I needed to write this blog for them or all who are struggling with life’s challenges.
In Christ, things will always get better. For some, that will be sooner; for others, later, but it will happen. I can't tell you who will be in the sooner or later group; that is beyond my ability to know. I generally pray for sooner. I can tell you that God's heartthrob is at the center of the universe and that His love is big enough to reach the whole world but small enough to be directed at just you and me. Our circumstances never determine God's love, but His love transcends our circumstances. Our lives, at times, can cause us to lose track of God, but God never loses track of us.
We need to take to heart the old African American spiritual, which says, "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches over me." Barrett closes his song with a statement of faith— "Hold on love, Things are going to get better, I know they are." We should do likewise.

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"
"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”
"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

What a great investment.
"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
