To See His Face

You know, this life can deal us an affair hand. It can seem so unfair even to us that believe. As some of you know we recently moved from Virginia to Georgia. I loved Virginia, and I didn’t want to move. This move seems to be nothing but problems. I registered the kids for school, and Dorrien has had a hard time adjusting. No matter what we do, it’s seems like we can’t get ahead. I had to take Dorrien to the emergency room, and I recently found out that I have an iron deficiency – low iron count. Sometimes I just don’t understand why things happen to me. I do understand that time and chance happen to us all; that’s what the Word of God tells us – He has forewarned us. But what I don’t understand is why it’s back to back to back. It’s like I can’t catch my breath from one battle to the next. It’s like as soon as I bandage wounds from one fight another one has already started.

Today, I got the chance to watch this movie my mom said I should check out months ago. I tried to watch it, but something got my attention, and I wasn’t able to finish it, but today I did. The movie is called “Heaven is For Real”. Now, it’s not that I ever thought Heaven wasn’t real or Hell for that matter. I believe that Jesus will return, and we all will either go to Heaven or to Hell, but it wasn’t the “subject” of Heaven or Hell being fake or real that touched my heart in this movie. I wasn’t concerned if the boy’s accounts about seeing Heaven were real or unreal. It was the very end of the movie that touched my heart. During the movie, the boy tried to describe what Jesus looked like, but said it was hard for him to explain. He talked about Jesus having “light eyes…. Bluish/green eyes”. But when it came to the very end, where the girl who had a similar experience as the boy, and they showed the painting of what Jesus looked like; all I could say as tears streamed down my face was “I just want to see You”. I thought about all the unfairness life is dealing me, all the things I don’t understand, and then looking at that painting, whether real or unreal, I knew that if I hold on I would be able to see His face. This life is not the end for me, and these things that I am going through, they too will pass. For the things I see and feel today are temporal; they are subject to change. And then I heard a song that we sang in church “I Worship You”. There’s a part that say “When all things that surrounds become shadow in the light of You.” All these unfair things that are going on in my life; they do become shadow in the light of who Jesus is to me. Though time and chance happens to us all; I will come through Victoriously. Though it rains on the just and the unjust alike, I will let Jesus be my umbrella to keep me dry through the storms of my life. “I Worship You” goes like this:

When I look into Your Holiness, When I gaze into Your loveliness, When all things that surround, Become shadows in the light of You.

When I've found the joy of reaching Your heart, When my will becomes enthralled in Your love, When all things that surround Become shadows in the light of You.

Don’t let the unfair things that surround you block out the light and love of Jesus. This life is not it for us. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, we will hear “Come up hither”, and these things will never matter again. We just have to hold, and not become weary in our well doing. The joy of the Lord is MY strength. I am strong in my Lord and in the Power of His Might! I am MORE than a conqueror in Him through Christ Jesus! No Weapon formed against me shall prosper, and EVERY tongue that rises up against me shall be proven wrong in Jesus’ name. On hold with me, and don’t let Go! This is not the end for us for the things we see are temporal; they are subject to change, and change for the better!

Did you put on your armor today???

Be Encouraged Today!!!

Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus!
