Meditate. Consider eternity and your relationship with the Eternal One.
All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17
He never dies. God is
eternal. He always has been…and always will be. We are remined of this briefly
in Revelation.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the
end," says the Lord God. "I am the one who is, who always was, and
who is still to come—the Almighty One." Revelation 1:8
That concept of no beginning and no end are really hard for us humans to get our mind around. Alpha—the first letter in the Greek alphabet and Omega—the last letter in that alphabet—would have been an understandable concept to the people first reading the scripture in its original Greek. For us, maybe some would grasp the idea of “I am A to Z” but that just doesn’t have the same feeling or oomph to it.

| The Bird of Paradise Paradise is Heaven. Will I see you there? |
"Don't let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my
Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare
a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you
will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am
going." "No, we don't know, Lord," Thomas said. "We have no
idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus told him,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father
except through me." John 14:1-6
Although some, like Thomas, might not believe, Jesus was explaining that the way to the Father…and Heaven…if to believe in Jesus as Savior. The Messiah. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Through His sacrifice on the cross, He provided a means for us to become pure and holy so that we can one day stand before the Throne of the Holy God—The Almighty One.
I have hope. Jesus is my Savior. On that day when your home is ready and Christ calls you, will you be able to stand before the Throne of the Almighty One?
Prayer ~ Jesus, Thank You for Your promise…"I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am." John 14:27-28. Thank you for the peace of mind that You give. I am not afraid. I look forward to Your return.
Verse of Salvation ~ So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen. 2 Timothy 2:10
Can you say this…I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation? All honor and glory to God.
