Just a quick thought as I take myself off to bed .
We are Gods children and are His heavenly beings …
He has called us to Himself , we responded , and it became the
first day of our new walk of faith with Him. .., and as we are
still here , it shows that we have chosen to continue to keep
walking.
I try to remember daily ( and sometime forget ) to give thanks
for every blessing in the form of persons that God has sent
across my spiritual path lo these many decades .
Thankful for every one …most have preceded us and passed on into
the realm of Life.
I feel blessed and enriched . Some have been odd or strange
characters, some even irritants , but Father always knows best
what and who we need to help shape and form us into the vessel
fit for His final temple .
He is , so I am….. We are who He says that we are. Praise the
Lord.

In the words of - George Matheson
For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of
righteousness (Galatians 5:5, RV).
There are times when things look very dark to me--so dark that I
have to wait even for hope. It is bad enough to wait in hope. A
long-deferred fulfillment carries its own pain, but to wait for
hope, to see no glimmer of a prospect and yet refuse to despair;
to have nothing but night before the casement and yet to keep
the casement open for possible stars; to have a vacant place in
my heart and yet to allow that place to be filled by no inferior
presence--that is the grandest patience in the universe. It is
Job in the tempest; it is Abraham on the road to Moriah; it is
Moses in the desert of Midian; it is the Son of man in the
Garden of Gethsemane. There is no patience so hard as that which
endures, "as seeing him who is invisible”….
I shall reach the climax of strength when I have learned to wait
for hope.

Good word, Helen.
Further, sometimes, there is no hope save Jesus Christ, our
Light in the Darkness. Actually, in the end of all things,
Jesus is the only hope.The cross is an event always available
that stands outside of time, in eternity. Time is a troubling
thing, with everything passing. Probably why, in eternity, as
we are told, there will be no sun (marking the days and years),
"for the Lord God will be their light."
[quote]They will see his face, and his name will be on their
foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of
lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will
reign forever and ever (Revelation 22:1-5).[/quote]

Yay!
Amen to that Nancy 💞
Dave and I have been going through the book of the Revelation.
I find it interesting that when I was 40 I understood the book
perfectly …( 😂🤣)
Now at 81 I wonder often what God is really saying ( or not
saying) in the book..
We are in dark and crazy days , just like in the book …but the
glorious hope is that the end is glorious …and that is where we
keep our eye …while we try to “drip Jesus “ on as many as
possible as we pass through this world on our journey Home.
It’s so good to be back in contact once again.. x 💞

That made me laugh. Yes, it's a wild ride of a book, for sure!

Even so my friend. We may laugh at ourselves or at one another,
but I have had the same type of experience, not only in the Book
of Revelation but in various places in scripture. I once thought
I knew so much but came to understand by the Holy Spirit, that I
have gone from nearly 100% right [as I thought] back down to
very little at all. I find myself so often back again with the
praying publican:
Lu 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Lu 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I
thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners,
unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Lu 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess.
Lu 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up
so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,
saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Lu 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall
be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Will we ever be lifted up above the level of that publican in
order to really see Him always face-to-face?

The flowers live by the tears that fall
From the sad face of the skies;
And life would have no joys at all,
Were there no watery eyes.
Love thou thy sorrow: grief shall bring
Its own excuse in after years;
The rainbow!--see how fair a thing
God hath built up from tears.
(not too sure of the theology , but liked it! )
