You
are in the grasp of inescapable love. God has wrapped you in His arms
and will never let you go--not even for one second of eternity. And
that, by the way, includes this moment.
___________
He does not just hold your future in His hands. He makes all things beautiful.
____________
No one loves my children as deeply as He does.
____________
The
greatest in the kingdom are those who serve, those who forgive, and
those who do so without the slightest interest in being acknowledged.
Minister is a title of humble servanthood. And we are all called to be
ministers all day long.
____________
Life
is miserable when we are always trying to escape our past and live in
our future. "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be
glad in it."
____________
Death
is not defeat but victory. Not loss but gain. Not the end of life, but
its fulfillment. "Your life is hid in Christ." "For to me, to live is
Christ. And to die, gain."
__________
If
you find the "yoke" unbearable, exhausting, the reason is simple. You
are trying to bear it in your own strength and wisdom. "Take My yoke
upon you, and learn of Me . . . and you will find rest for your souls."
____________
You
have a righteous Advocate to defend you before the Father every time you
sin. And His righteousness is your defense--not your own. You have
escaped condemnation. God will not listen to any accusation made against
you.
____________
The
only eschatology that truly matters is are you one of those who will
love His appearing. How do you become "one of those" disciples? "If you
love Me, keep My commandments."
