“A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, […] waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here waiting for our response to His presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.” -A.W. Tozer
Make room in your hearts
today!
The King has come
and is on His way!
Prepare the home
for Him
to enter in,
do not delay!
Jesus our Guest
is worthy
of the best,
the finest we can bring.
Are you ready
to host
Christ
the King?
The veil is so thin
don’t waste
the suffering you’re in.
He is faithful,
God of the ages
from eternity past.
Immanuel is here,
and His Spirit everlast.
Your Father, Friend and King
will lead you
in the Way everlasting.
Heaven is but
a breath away;
and angels peek from
behind the curtain,
to see His will
is certain,
as earth plays out
Providence
in the Throne Room
of God’s confidence.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us un all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” -2 Corinthians 1:3-4
I am reminded of past saints who have suffered and used their circumstances to bless others. It does not mean they were super human, exempt from pain. They too experienced deep valleys. But through them, because they rested in Christ’s power to work in their weaknesses, those Christians can testify to God’s refining power from suffering. Amy Carmichael, Elisabeth Elliot, John Bunyan, William Carey, Gladys Aylward, Corrie ten Boom, Charles Spurgeon and Margaret Clarkson to name a few, withstood the fiery trials and the Lord beautified their faith as precious gold. These are the ones who have said God is enough in pain, let me tell you too so that your suffering is not for nothing.
It is such a short time
that we live on
this blessed earth,
when we move and breathe.
God ordains down to the year
and day we enter
Chaos
and when we leave it.
It is all in His Hands,
the wonder and heartache,
beauty and ashes.
What will you and I
leave behind?
What have we built
our lives upon?
Christ the Redeemer
turned everything
upside down,
showing us
the Kingdom Way.
A legacy of faith
by God’s grace,
is the crown jewel
which will one day
overtake the saints
with everlasting joy
and gladness.
On that day
sorrow and sighing
will flee away
banished into eternal
darkness.
Dear Christian,
persevere with joy
in the reality
of your eternal future.
The not yet
will soon
be declared,
“fulfilled.”
