Our family lost one of our loved ones last night. Well, really no, we didn't lose them we know right where she is.
My husband's last living sibling went to be with her Lord and Savior at midnight last night.
As we contemplate this one breath that took her from us to Jesus, we rejoice to know in her pain and long illness, she is now free of all earthly evils.
Lord, how our hearts try to fathom this concept you have amazed us with. We live and have our being with breaths to keep us alive....... but then comes that one day we take our last breath on this earth, and if we are your child, (" by faith and trust in Jesus's shed blood on Calvary").
We take our next breath in Your heaven and before your presence.
This forever amazes me. " What a Savior that gives us new life"
My mind wanders to just what it was like for her even at 12:08 AM as she took her last breath on earth at 12:00 AM. In that next few moments as the scripture says," absent in the body present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5; 8.
I can just see her in total amazement of that glorious heaven.....whom did she see first? Her mom and dad, or Jesus face to face. The Bible says, " We shall see Him then face to face in all of His glory." Friend, heaven will be worth it all.
The most important decision you will ever make is: hearing, believing, Jesus, God in the flesh, was born to shed His blood on that old rugged cross. That my belief in Him He takes away all our sins: past, present, and future. It's as if you've never sinned. WOW!
Romans 10; 17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ"
DON'T YOU WANT THAT?
John 3: 15-16 " that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Verse 16; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Yes, We know right where she's at. We sorrow not as those that have NO HOPE. But, rejoice that we will see her again. DON'T YOU WANT THAT MY FRIEND?

Peace like a river. Peace, Peace, God's Peace. DON'T YOU WANT THAT?
