surprise!

(1st sentence edited because of embarassment over public thumb sucking.)
1 Cor 2:9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love ... (the Lord).

Recently I've been hearing that we'll spending eternity in the throne room praising God. May the Lord forgive me, but it seems to me that might get old. (Of course I don't understand the concept of eternity--one big NOW?)

However, I'm convinced tonight that I'll be given a great big surprise present!

What HAS God prepared for us? Merry Eternity.

Comfort

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (New King James Version)

¹⁶ For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷ Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

by His grace

For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:3-7

Love Song

Falling in love with the Book, fifty years after first opening it with awe, turning to John, and reading about the Word.

Falling in love with the Word
Somewhen perhaps falling at His feet and
touching the scars.
Walking with Jesus and holding His hand is the dream
But after all He IS the Lion of Judah.

Walking with Him,
feeling like a child being praised,
Being close to him is the best reward.
Not deserving a reward,
having failed at most everything,
Surely his mercy allowing closeness to Him once.
There is hope of being with him,
the church being His bride.
Surely the love described in the Song applying.
Having been forgiven a lot,
Loving Him more and more.
God, Creator, Savior, Lawyer, Satisfier, Sovereign King, Focus of devotion

Loving You more and more.

No more rants

I'm a little ashamed of my previous political rants. We've stopped listening to the programs that get us over emotional. The voting booth expresses our voice.
