• Our Journey Through The Valley (52)

  FROM BEV  (Read and be blessed!!)

  I have just heard of the death of a friend's father... Part of the email read, " absent from the body but present with The Lord" . What an amazingly, comforting, mind blowing, empowering, motivating promise we have from the Bible. Our last breath on earth ushers us into a world of perfection, everlasting love and our Lord's personal eternal presence. Oh how I long for that day.......... But it will mean leaving all that I treasure on this earth.

  This is where my faith really has to come to the fore. I do not want to cause those I love the pain and grief of parting but I do so long to be with The Lord in my heavenly home. I have to believe that God's love for them will be sufficient for that day and they will have the grace required, as a special gift from God on that day to celebrate my passing into my eternal home where they know that I will be waiting to welcome them when their turn comes.

  My love for my husband, my children and their wives,  my grandchildren and extended family pales into insignificance against the love that God has for them, so I hold tight to knowledge that as I want only what is best for them, God's desire is multiplied many times over.  My passing will, I pray, draw them closer to my Lord  and Saviour as He offers them love, peace and comfort.
