Soldiering for Jesus

Soldiering: one who contends or serves in a cause; to persist steadfastly; to persevere

The things [the doctrine, the precepts, the admonitions, the sum of my ministry] which you have heard me teach in the presence of many witnesses…Take with me your share of hardship [passing through the difficulties which you are called to endure], like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service gets entangled in the [ordinary business] affairs of civilian life; [he avoids them] so that he may please the one who enlisted him to serve. 2 Tim. 2:2 – 4. AMP

How can we not soldier on for Jesus? He loved us first. He prepared us for salvation before we were born. Jehovah calls us to Him for salvation. Christ died for us; and when we accept Him and His cleansing blood, we have effectively been taken out of the world and spared its fate. Jesus graciously petitioned the Holy Spirit that we may stay on track; and He took up residence inside of our hearts and strengthens us to overcome the wiles of the wicked one. Finally, He accompanies us on our journey to heaven to the place that He has prepared for us, to share in His glory for all of eternity.

It’s a matter of demonstrating our gratitude for the gift of His immeasurable grace. Moreover, God equips us for this soldiering;

…[and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the church]… Eph. 4:12 AMP

One way that God does this is by leaving us His word; in addition, He will provide whatever else is required:

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim. 3:16, 17. NKJV

…equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ… Heb. 13:21, 21. NASB

God put us here to love Him and His Son, and to expose as many of God’s potential children to the opportunity to understand why they need to return to Him, whereby we can help facilitate victory for the kingdom by playing our part in the winning of souls.

We wage the battle for the gospel in present time, to help ensure the hearer a future with Jesus in eternity. In that soldiering, we are harbingers of God’s grace.

Before we go soldiering, we want to seek our Savior in morning prayer, to get dipped in our spiritual preparation, so that those we may speak to may hear and see Jesus in our personage, leaving no doubt upon the hearer that we represent the gospel.

If we soldier for Jesus, He will bring us those victories by augmenting our faithful efforts through the Holy Spirit. We of ourselves cannot save anyone. As we speak the message, the Holy Spirit sows the seed of understanding into the heart of our recipients.

I call it ‘soldiering’ because we will meet with resistance from the devil and his minions, who want to thwart our efforts. Yet we have our watchful Commander by our side:

Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. 1 Jn. 4:3, 4. AMP

In the end, it doesn’t matter what we encounter, suffering or not, Jesus will honor us for it:

“If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me…” Mt. 16:24 AMP

But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled. 1 Pt. 3:14 NASB

How is anyone going to know the heart of Christ unless we tell them and show them? How will they know that they have a choice to live or die? It is only through the message of the atoning death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ that the reprobate can have any chance of being delivered from this world.

The gospel covenant truth is the saving grace of God. You are called to disseminate its fragrance. You are gifting love and eternity. Soldier on…

Goodnight and God bless. 

What Are All Those Jesus Followers Pumped Up About – part 2

Continuing from part 1, consider this: 

As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, to go as he came; and he shall take nothing from his labor which he may carry away in his hand. Eccl. 5:15 NKJV

As it says, our entrance to and exit out of this world is similar physically. Yet, the follower of Christ has so much more spiritually:

…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Gal. 5:22, 23. CSB

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; its comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens]… Jas. 1:17 AMP

…[look forward and confidently] wait for [the coming of] His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead – Jesus, who [personally] rescues us from the coming wrath [and draws us to Himself, granting us all the privileges and rewards of a new life with Him]. 1 Thess. 1:10 AMP

By faith we receive and possess every spiritual blessing (Eph. 1:3), as we are fashioned to be more Christ-like in every moment, in preparation for our eternal bliss (2 Cor. 3;18). 

While we occupy this world, we have the surety of that everlasting serenity, because we have clothed ourselves in the justification of Jesus, our anchor, our rock; and now stand impervious to the wiles of the accuser, as long as we keep clinging to Him. We are spoken for, praise God.

And there’s more to be pumped up about! At the foundation of all the good things God gives and does for those who love Him and embrace His Son, is His grace:

For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God… Eph. 2:8 AMP

For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Ps. 84:11 NASB

Jehovah God gives us His grace through His Son:

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth…Indeed, we have all received grace upon grace from his fullness… Jn. 1:14 & 16. CSB

…even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace – His undeserved favor and mercy – you have been saved from God’s judgment). Eph. 2:5 AMP

By the blood of Jesus, we were given access to HIs Father’s throne of grace for whenever our need arises:

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 4:16 ESV

Finally, the followers of Jesus are pumped up about Jesus Himself!

In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the light of men. Jn. 1:1 – 4. AMP

Christ shares the powers of God (Heb. 1:3), and He holds the universe together and is an exact likeness of God and is Jehovah’s redemptive Agent. (Col. 1:15 – 20.) He was first a Spirit being, who, at His resurrection, became a God-man. 

God brought forth the Light (Jesus) for the deliverance of His children, from the sins that were drawing them towards death:

“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Jn. 1:29 NASB

“I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security). The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His [own] life for the sheep.” Jn. 10:9 – 11. AMP

Jesus laid HIs life down for us. What’s our part? To have faith and reflect His love:

“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him who He sent.” Jn. 6:29 NKJV

“…love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples…” Jn. 13:34, 45. NKJV

Jesus too, is the Guarantor of our portion of God’s covenant promises: 

 “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Jn. 14:13 NKJV

He is also our burden-bearer:

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and the burden I give you is light.” Mt. 11:28 – 30. NLT

Ultimately, Jesus does the will of God, which is to bring His wayward children back to Him forever:

“And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” Jn. 6:40 NKJV

And to do all that, Jesus is coming back!

“Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Mt. 24:30 NKJV

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift your heads, because your redemption draws near…when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.” Lk. 21:28 & 31. NKJV

It’s time for you to be pumped up as well. All you have to do, is follow Jesus…

Goodnight and God bless. 

What Are All Those Jesus Followers Pumped Up About?

We are pumped up because, despite our unruly and rebellious worldliness, God refuses not to love us. Moreover, He made a way for Him to overlook and forgive that old human behavior by giving up the life of His only Son, so that we could be redeemed in His eyes:

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that that world might be saved through Him.” Jn. 3:16, 17. AMP

In fact, we don’t have to put a lot of vacillating thought into this, because this is the ONLY way that we receive the eternal salvation from the Father:

“I am the [only] way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” Jn. 14:6 AMP

However, what we just looked at, is the culmination of God’s great grace through His Son. We have a lot more to be pumped up about!

The world became bitterly divided soon after humankind inhabited it. There is an all too real spiritual battle between good and evil that has been waged throughout that time; and it will not end until time’s termination. It also manifests in its human representatives as well.  I’m sure you’ll agree with me that we’ve never seen the level of divisiveness as pervasive as it is today. God prophesied about this through the apostle Paul over 2000 years ago:

…in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its  power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. 2 Tim. 3:1 – 5. AMP

God never lies…

Doesn’t sound like anything to be pumped up about. However, our loving God never leaves us clueless with regards to navigating these scurrilous times:   

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Mic. 6:8 ESV

Jesus replied, “’You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Mt. 22:37 NLT

If we act accordingly to these two scriptures, we can be at peace, even if the world is not – filled with the joy of God and His Son, pumped up at the certainty or our heavenly destination.

And yet, we are human. We fall short of perfect obedience. However, when we confess our transgression and repent to the best of our ability, then we will meet this kind of God:

“Yahweh! The LORD! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” Ex. 34:6 NLT

He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west. The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are… Ps. 103:10 – 14. NLT

Compassionate! Merciful! Ready to forgive! That’s how He is for those who have accepted His Son as their Savior, i.e. His children. When God looks at His children’s sin, He cannot register it in them anymore, because He sees Christ in them, whose blood has washed them clean.

We are also pumped up because God is faithful:

God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? Nm. 23:19 NLT

 I will be the same until your old age, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will bear and rescue you. Is. 46:4 CSB

If we know that God has us covered on all sides throughout our entire life, it takes away the anxiety of living it. It removes all doubt, knowing God is always willing to deliver us from all our travails and obstacles that stand in the way of living out the life He has planned for us.

However, some of those trials consist of ways that God uses to strengthen us for our heavenly journey:

“It is necessary to go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22 CSB

It’s also exhilarating to know that we can have a personal conversation, through prayer, with the God of the universe:

“And I will do whatever you ask in My name [as My representative}, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son.” Jn. 14:13 AMP

…if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 1 Jn. 5:14, 15. NKJV

“…whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mk. 11:24 ESV

“And it shall come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved…” Joel 2:32 AMP

In that conversation, when we approach in faith, ask in alignment with God’s values, have faith in the outcome, and seal it is Jesus’ name, our petition will be granted. And in the most vital prayerful petition, God’s grace ushers us into heaven.

Still wondering why we’re so pumped up?

Goodnight and God bless. 

Death is but for a Moment

For the living know that they will die… Eccl. 9:5 NKJV

Everyone will die (except those who are still living and in right-standing with God when Christ returns).

Regardless of whether you had a life filled with happiness, achievement and or glory, or if it was one full of difficulties and seemed pointless – especially because you have no faith in a hereafter, (And if there is no resurrection, “Let’s feast and drink, for tomorrow we die!” 1 Cor. 15:32 NLT), it will end; and that interim between birth and death is of a very short duration:

“…our days on earth are [like] a shadow [just a breath or a vapor].” Job 8:9 AMP

Given what appears a grim picture, humankind has been trying to find ways to live life longer for millennia, with no measurable success. Yet we long for that increase. Why? Because God put that yearning in us:

He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]… Eccl. 3:11 AMP

God is not sadistic. He loves all His creations. Jehovah would not impart such a yearning within us for eternity, (and He is the embodiment of eternal), if He / it was not something that we could attain.

Death was not part of the original plan. Adam and Eve were immortal – if they stayed in obedience to God’s word:

And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat of it, you will certainly die.” Gn. 2:16, 17. CSB

But they did, didn’t they? The believed the devil when he called God a liar. But God doesn’t lie, so He must mete out His punishment and it spread from Adam to all generations:

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned. Rm. 5:12 CSB

Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam… 1 Cor. 15:22 NLT

So now there is death; and almost no one looks forward to it:

The Lord puts to death and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol (the grave) and raises up [from the grave]. 1 Sam. 2:6 AMP

My heart shudders within me; terrors of death sweep over me. Ps. 55:4 CSB

God did not create us for death. He wants to love on us for eternity. So, God offers a way out of death, because only He has the power to take it away:

Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death. Ps. 68:20 ESV

Jehovah God reassures us:

For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off. Pr. 23:18 NKJV

…the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth. Eccl. 7:1 NASB

Why? Because He loves us:

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His godly ones. Ps. 116:15 NASB

Therein is the caveat. All people are precious to God; but He can only save those who meet His criteria for salvation, i.e. the ‘godly’ ones:

The wicked one is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous one has a refuge in his death. Pr. 14:32 CSB

‘As I live – this is the declaration of the Lord GOD – I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked person should turn from his way and live. Repent, repent of your evil ways! Why will you die…?’ Ezek. 33:11 CSB

So, it is our obedience to God’s word / ways, that delivers us from death:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” Jn. 8:51 NKJV

Yet, we all fall short of keeping God’s word perfectly. That’s why we have Jesus:

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Jn. 3:16 AMP

…having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. Rm. 5:9 NASB

…so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Heb. 9:28 NASB

No Jesus, no life. Only the curse of death. With, Jesus, its a momentary death, never to be seen again:

He will swallow up death for all time… Is. 25:8 NASB

When a follower of Jesus dies, the transition is immediate:

…and the dust returns to the earth as it once was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Eccl. 12:7 CSB

“He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will continue to see the light.’ Job 33:28 CSB

And he was saying, “Jesus [please] remember me when You come into your kingdom!” Jesus said to him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42,43. AMP

For to me, to live is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]. Phil. 1:21 AMP

Death is a blip. Our spirits and souls are in the presence of Jesus instantly following our last breath. The body dies. In the ‘first resurrection,’ our new immortal bodies are formed to house our spirit and soul forever. Thus, it is extremely important that we latch onto Jesus before that last breath is expelled. Being as how you don’t know when that will be, there is great urgency in you securing that connection.

Finally, let’s add the second half of scripture to the very first scripture cited in this post:

…but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Eccl. 9:5 NKJV

There is a certain church denomination that uses this scripture to claim that all peoples die and are in a mindless stasis if you will, until the day of judgment. However, we see that there is no downtime for the saints; they go straight to Jesus for the Millennial rule with Him. (Rv. 20:4-7.)

The scripture is correct, however. The dead know nothing, that is, the old dead bodies of the saints, and the dead bodies of the unbelievers (who remain clueless in their souls) until the ‘second resurrection,’ where they will suffer their eternal damnation with the devil. (Mt. 25:41)

So, if you’re walking with Jesus, forget about death. It is but for a moment. Leave any fear about it behind and go enjoy your life!   

Goodnight and God bless.

I Can’t Get No Satisfaction

A famous refrain from the Rolling Stones’ song Satisfaction. Dissatisfaction plagues the minds of every human being at times. Someone else is always richer, more cool, more beautiful, more popular, has more stuff, etc. Nothing of this world ever satisfies us in perpetuity. We just know that life would be better if it was different somehow; yet we have a hard time putting our finger on just what that difference is. 

That is how the god of this world would have us be. If we are dissatisfied with life, we are playing into his hands – searching for something (sin) to calm our inner struggle. But for the committed Christian, this should not be the case:

“You shall not covet [that is, selfishly desire and attempt to acquire] your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” Ex. 20:17 AMP

If we are obeying this 10th of the Ten Commandments, we won’t be running around with a sick soul and a rattled brain. God, (through the apostle Paul), tells us what we must seek:

Not that I speak from [any personal] need, for I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy, regardless of my circumstances]. Phil. 4:11 AMP

…godliness is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God]. 1 Tim. 6:6 AMP

Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” Heb. 13:5 NLT

Paul came to a spiritual state whereby he drew upon his Savior, to bring him a spiritual satisfaction so that his life transcended all physical desires. He walked a godly walk, rooted in his having faith in a faithful, loving God. And that is the key for all of us as well, i.e. to embrace our incomparable divine gifts. 

We do that by whole heartedly pursuing and pleasing our God by emulating His Son, through the power of the Holy Spirit – clinging to the heart instead of the flesh:

…if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever. Rm. 8:13 AMP

In this pursuit, we continually refresh our soul by focusing on the magnitude of what God has done to bring us to Him for all of eternity, (for those who want it). He wants to care for our every godly need. He loves us unconditionally. Receiving that love requires obedience to God’s word to the best of our ability and leaning on the blood of Jesus when we fall short. 

God’s grace abounds for us in so many ways:

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. Eph. 1:4 NLT

“Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given to Me [as your gift to Me], may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which you have given Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” Jn. 17:24 AMP

God created us for salvation in Christ: and here we also see Jesus praying for our eternal journey with Him. Jehovah wishes for all to come to Him in Christ, and take on the mantle of being His child:

He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will… Eph. 1:5 NASB 

What awesome things God has done for us. Yet, that doesn’t mean that life is easy. Misery loves company; which is why the world is always trying to get you in its clutches. But we have the deck stacked on our side. We have Jesus!

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” Jn. 16:33 NASB

In order for all of this to work however, demands an attitudinal adjustment. If God has our lives handled, we can take our focus off of ourselves and do God’s (other-focused) work, which brings us joy in our commission of it: 

“‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Mt. 22:37 – 39. NKJV

When we hit a glitch in life, we want to look at the roots of it, see what God’s lesson is, and ask for His help in dealing with it:

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result. so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Jas. 1:2 – 4. NASB

Remember that whatever comes against us, Christ will get us through it – all made possible at the cross. He, like His Father, is a promise-keeper, bringing hope that does not disappoint. 

God is in control, molding us to be more like Jesus every day, right up until we graduate. Amen.

With regards to our provisions, they all come from God, thus they are good and perfect:

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. Jas. 1:17 CSB

And if perfect, we want to be in a state of continual gratitude to Him. 

How long will God keep loving and caring for you? 

“I will be the same until your old age, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will bear and rescue you. Is. 46:4 CSB

Forever…

Whatever we find ourselves doing, thinking about, or praying for, we know how to tailor them for our own good and for that of our brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as all of the potential ones. We do that by letting God be our total guide. I say ‘letting,’ because God does not violate our free will; which is why we want our will to align with HIs. That’s what happens when we put Him first:

“My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” Jn. 15:8 NASB

God has always got you covered:

“…for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” Mt. 6:8 NASB

All He wants is your gratitude for His immeasurable grace towards you – a gift freely given that you did not earn. You are in HIs grace when you walk His walk; and you won’t be sweating the earthly stuff, because you know you’re in His hands.

Be happy too for your brother or sister’s providence. Celebrate with them. Envy has no place in the soul of a Christian. The only status that counts is that which you have with God.

God has created you for your unique slot in His universal plan. He has equipped you for it in every way, and is going to love you always, as He brings you out to your eternal paradise. If you’re living your life with these thoughts, you will have satisfaction…

Goodnight and God Bless.
