Safe in HIS arms

Death. To me it's not final, to some it is. I know where I will be when I leave my earthly body. Jesus has promised eternal life for all who believe. I believe. I believe Jesus is the Christ, the son of God. John wrote in the Bible, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." (John 20:31). Do you believe? 

Today is another hard day. Today my family celebrates the life of my uncle. He may no longer be here in this world in his physical, human body, but I know he is in heaven, healed. He is no longer suffering or in pain. I look forward to seeing him and all my loved ones that has passed away before me once again. It is hard for us as we age. We start to experience illness more and see more loss. But God.....He is with us. He will never leave us. And I can say he has carried me, comforted me and he gets me through life. This human body is only temporary. Our "stuff" stays here on earth. Earth is not our home. But I know I have a HOME with Jesus. Am I ready? You bet! As I have said before, thinking about it makes me sad, because I do not want to leave my family. But when Jesus calls me, I am ready to see him. 

Are you ready? Do you know my Jesus? He is the saviour of the world. He is God in human form. He came as a baby (Luke 2) and has experienced what we do...temptation, hunger, want, frustration, love, being tired, anger, friendship and everything else. He was loved by many, then people turned on him and he was hated, beaten, crucified on a cross and died. But Jesus was prophesied hundreds of years before he was was even born. (Isaiah 40 and 53).  He died for us (Luke 23). Bore our sins as the lamb sacrifice to God. BUT...He rose from the dead on the 3rd day (Luke 24, Matthew 27). And he is in Heaven, sitting at the right hand of God, waiting for us (Romans 8).

You may not see him, but he is with us, all around us. You just have to ask him into your  heart. Believe he is the Christ. 

Please pray for my family, my aunt, my cousins, through this time of heartache. As we grieve for the earthly loss, we celebrate the heavenly win.

Romans 8:34; "Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us."

Hebrews 10:12; "But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,"

Love to all,
