It has always amazed me that human nature
being what it is , speaks volumes in our
relationships with our God.
It is both troubling and sad that many calling
themselves Christians hold tight to family,
earthly loved ones, friends, parents: more than
our love of Christ?
It is only near our end physically of this life,
will some of us even look at what heaven may
hold for us ,for loved ones; to realize that there
is really nothing of value here in this human
existence worth appreciating!
If your life has been such a real blessing, then by
all means stay, if what Gods word promises to
those who believe; this choice may very well be
the last one you contemplate before liftoff !
I know that many are called , but ; few
are chosen:this has been a yardstick of our lord in
this scripture alone?
The value we place upon tangible things rather
than spiritual concepts may be a greatly
deciding factor in Gods choices in the end of it all.
I would have to admit to anyone that possibly God
made His choice already if one believes in
predestination, and what He might have based it
upon ? So many variables to deal with in setting up
this facet of His plan for us, I am glad He is the
one making this choice ?
Only ones personal God is capable of understanding
many of us, for only the creator is qualified to
choose who will be His for all Eternity !
Only the true believer could continue on this
journey into the spirit realm, it will be no wimp
trip, for sure. It will be a desire of the heart to
please Him, out of the deepest love; and solid
obedience: to His majesty.Only those tried by fire,
and conditioned in their spirit; will prevail as our
Christ did in walking with their Father: are the chosen.
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have
I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed
begging bread.”
Psalm 37:25
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but
that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for our sins.”
1John 4:10
“And the saying pleased the whole multitude;
and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith
and of the Holy Ghost,”
Acts 6:5 a,b.
Christ Is Life, &
In His love;
