HOPE

Even tho tomorrow isn't promised to us, what is your hope for tomorrow? Do you dream of a place where all these burdens we chose to carry around with us will be no more? Are you waiting on the New Jerusalem coming down and being able to walk up to Heaven to visit with our Father?

Or are you like so many that think this is all there is? Then yall haven't been reading the Bible very much. This isn't the end. When we leave all this behind and reach the new city that our Hope is built on that will only be the beginning.

Oh people, do you ever hope and long for Home? I do. Can't you just imagine how beautiful our new home is going to be. The crystal clear water, no more sorrow, no more tears and no more burdens. Can't you just see yourself walking on streets of gold? See the diamonds sparkling and twinkling at you? Look how pretty the grass, tree and flowers are. Listen to the birds joyous melody. Being able to visit with all our love ones who are there not to mention being able to look upon and talk to the Father and Jesus.

But then we get to thinking about our love ones that we will leave behind. Some will follow, others won't. There again we are hoping that those who are going to be left behind might someday, before it is too late decide to turn to Christ and be reunited with us in the sweet by and by. All we can do is pray for them, hope their hearts will open and keep the oil in our lamps so we can be ready to go.

I am so sure that most of us will and do have regrets about our life's and the witness we have shown to others. We know that God has forgiven us and we hope that others will too.

But let me ask you this, has the world been so good to you that you will really regret leaving it? So many of us know the best is ahead for us. I hope each of you know that the best is yet ahead of us.

Psa 31:24
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Rom 15:13
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

God's Blessings to each of you,
