“The boundless realms of his Father’s universe are Christ’s by prescriptive right. As “heir of all things,” he is the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God, and he has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint-heirship which the Lord hath ratified with his chosen people. The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, the transcendent bliss, and the unutterable glory, are, by our blessed Lord, made over to us for our everlasting possession.” Author~Charles Spurgeon
We all have things that we are suffering, “growing through” in this world. It is a good world because God made it to be so, but it is a world with human issues. Our sin has caused many bad issues in this good world. The consequences of our sin is far reaching, yet God’s reach is even farther. God, our way-maker has through Jesus Christ, His Son, given us a future that is incorruptible, perfect and forever. This is our hope and it began at the cross of Jesus Christ. We are people of the cross. We are people with a future and a hope. This is not our home, therefore we do not cling to it or anything in it, we cling to Jesus, our way, truth and forever life. We look forward to with great hope, His Kingdom, our home. We are people of the cross and we do not put our hope and expectations in this world, we put them in our God. This is a good world, because He created it to be so and He is in it. The best is yet to come. Wait, hopefully and endure, because our future is bright. Things are not perfect here, but we have been promised a forever that is more than we could ever hope for or imagine. Cling to this hope and let it feed your courage as you stay on mission for Jesus until He comes for His Church. KimberlyMac
Home, We Are Headed Home
My Father’s home is designed to accommodate all of you. If there were not room for everyone, I would have told you that. I am going to make arrangements for your arrival. I will be there to greet you personally and welcome you home, where we will be together. John 14:2-3 The Voice
We Are Getting Close, Our Joy Is Rising Higher
For you will go out in joy, be led home in peace. And as you go the land itself will break out in cheers; The mountains and the hills will erupt in song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands. Prickly thorns and nasty briers will give way to luxurious shade trees, sweet and good. And they’ll remind you of the Eternal One and how God can be trusted absolutely and forever. Isaiah 55:12-13 The Voice
People Of The Cross, We Choose Christ And Count All Else As Lost
But whatever I used to count as my greatest accomplishments, I’ve written them off as a loss because of the Anointed One. And more so, I now realize that all I gained and thought was important was nothing but yesterday’s garbage compared to knowing the Anointed Jesus my Lord. For Him I have thrown everything aside—it’s nothing but a pile of waste—so that I may gain Him. When it counts, I want to be found belonging to Him, not clinging to my own righteousness based on law, but actively relying on the faithfulness of the Anointed One. This is true righteousness, supplied by God, acquired by faith. Philippians 3:7-9
Moving Forward Unto Jesus, Our Hope Is Not Shaken
Brothers and sisters, as I said, I know I have not arrived; but there’s one thing I am doing: I’m leaving my old life behind, putting everything on the line for this mission. 14 I am sprinting toward the only goal that counts: to cross the line, to win the prize, and to hear God’s call to resurrection life found exclusively in Jesus the Anointed. Philippians 3:13-14 The Voice
Praise, Be Ever Praised Your Spirit Burns Within Us Brighter Every Day
The path of the uncompromisingly just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more brighter and clearer until it reaches its full strength and glory in the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18 Amplified Bible
Jesus We Will Be Faithful, Endure Till The End
Happy is the person who can hold up under the trials of life. At the right time, he’ll know God’s sweet approval and will be crowned with life. As God has promised, the crown awaits all who love Him. James 1:12 The Voice
Give Us Your Courage, Jesus As We Finish With Well Done
And he who had received the five talents came and brought him five more, saying, Master, you entrusted to me five talents; see, here I have gained five talents more. His master said to him, Well done, you upright, honorable, admirable and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy, the delight, the blessedness which your master enjoys. Matthew 25:20 Amplified Bible
Hope Won’t Be Taken, Truth Stands
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have perfect peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer, take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted! For I have overcome the world. I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you. John 16:33 Amplified Bible
We Are Joint Heirs With Jesus
“The crown royal He has placed upon the head of His Church, appointing her a kingdom, and calling her sons a royal priesthood, a generation of priests and kings. He uncrowned himself that we might have a coronation of glory; He would not sit upon his own throne until he had procured a place upon it for all who overcome by his blood. Crown the head and the whole body shares the honor. Behold here the reward of every Christian conqueror! Christ’s throne, crown, scepter, palace, treasure, robes, heritage, are yours. Author~Charles Spurgeon
