Thoughts for Life: With Jesus for Eternity

This world is filled with pain and tears

It all will change when Christ appears

Yet those who live 'neath Jesus reign

Are filled with joy, despite their pain

His gentle Spirit calms their fear

And they advance his kingdom here

How blessed are those who live this truth

And have embraced it from their youth

Though they may have no earthly fame

God hears their prayer "in Jesus' name"

And blesses them in countless ways

For which they always give him praise

When their work on earth is complete

He calls them home; at last they meet

The ONE they were created for

That's all they want. There's nothing more

There's nothing greater than to be

With Jesus for eternity

Jane Ault With Jesus for Eternity

"My sister is not here. I [could not] call her on this 4th of July. She has been reunited with her soldier sweetheart in heaven. The celebration there is far beyond my imagination. Someday, I will join her there. Knowing that a fantastic celebration is ahead of me, I can put up with quite a few limitations and restrictions here. Can’t you?

As my sister would say, and as she and I sang together, “It will be worth it all when we see Jesus." [italics added]

I wrote the [above] poem a few days after my sister’s funeral."

Let's pray-

"Thank You, heavenly Father, for your guidance in my life today. Protect me and give me wisdom to live in a way that both pleases You and reveals who You are." [As seen in ODB, 9/7/20]

Today's quotes-

~ Nancy Demary- "We all have instances of denial that must be dealt with in various stages of life. A humility of heart allows us to be open to seeing things for what they are. God reveals to us changes that He would like to help us with when we humble ourselves. When denial falls off, opportunity knocks on our door. Until a person truly sees their need for God’s grace to come in and change something that is disordered in their life, they will be blinded to their need. Here again a heart of humility and acknowledgement of sin is crucial."

~ Dave Branon- "Living for God now, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, makes the decisions about what is next much easier. 'The LORD gives wisdom; . . . he holds success in store for the upright, . . . he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones" (Prov. 2:6). May God supply what we need for us to live by His guidelines now, and may He guide us into what's next for His honor." [as seen in ODB, 9/7/20]

Words of wisdom-

~ To be fulfilled, we must turn to Jesus. He alone can satisfy the hunger for our never-ending search for more. He can complete us as nothing else can. May we experience the fulness and contentment available only in the Lord Jesus.
