Have you ever been tempted to read or scroll to the end of a book?
You know the ending is good, but you would like to skip through the details.
This is not what our Christ Life is about. Yes, we must be secure in our Salvation. We need to KNOW our destination.
But, reading of the Bible enforces the Truth that each individual life must live out in fullness…. each separate page to reveal the FULL story.
We must walk one day at a time with OUR SAVIOUR – holding on to HIM, yet the Word ever will challenge that this Path of Life will not always be smooth.
There was a Gethsemane for Jesus and the agony of the Cross to fulfill God’s Highest Purpose. The end of His Story was RESURRECTION. For ALL HUMANITY who follow HIM. That is THE PROMISE.
He left His Spirit ……..He has promised to never leave us or forsake us
Let’s walk on.
May He continue to add pages to our life’s story. It will never end until our final breath here leads to Eternity. THERE.
Don’t flip to the end…….Keep looking up…….sow the beauty and Joy of this CHRIST-Life to Others,,,,,,,,,,,,
Help them find the PATH you KNOW.
Blessings!
ROMANS 8:24 if we hope for what we do not see then we eagerly wait for it with PERSEVERANCE.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
Good thought. The journey can be fantastic as well as the destination. Of course, we don’t always see the journey as fantastic when we walk through sorrow. Have a great day, Faye.
