Revelation 21: 4 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Dear God,
Thank You for another new day, please keep us safe upon this day. The birds sing and chortle, ever trusting in the life granted them and the provision of their Creator, even though it could be argued they know no better. In the power of the seed, birds, plant life and all creation, I see the love and care of Jesus our Creator.
The Bible prophets through Your inspiration reveal the plan of redemption available to all people on earth down through history. The triumphant end of events upon earth is foretold through the prophetic writing of the apostle, John in Revelation. Therefore we know that this wicked world which is reeling under the effects of Satan and sin will be judged by You, and the final end of this world as it is now will come.
It is a great thought, that all of those people who have and do love You best, are soon to go to a place beyond compare, in which we are told there is perpetual joy such as we have not known; a place with no death, sorrow, crying or pain and certainly no regrets for opportunities that have passed by.
Now is the time, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, for me to prepare my heart and mind, so that to love You best and do what You ask, will give me the greatest pleasure. I will then automatically seek to be Your blessing to my family and all my other contacts.
I cannot take any of my earthly belongings with me, for our homes and possessions will be all burned up one day, but I have no cause for worry for You provide new homes and all we need in heaven. To fully assimilate these thoughts, will change the conception on accumulating wealth and possessions here on earth; and to do so, should have lost appeal, for there are much better days coming at Your heavenly address and in the universe.
Thank You for blessing me with all my needs on this earth. Please fill me with contentment and not a spirit of ‘I must have this or that nice thing,’ when to do so, is really above a need.
In the power of the Holy Spirit I will focus upon You my Saviour, for I am filled with longing for heaven and to live with You, Revelation 21: 1”…a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.” It is an awesome thought that the regeneration of earth will be such that the redeemed and the heavenly city will come down to be on earth, V 2, 3 “Then I, John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ……Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.”
How could You want to do this for sinful mankind and a mutilated earthly landscape, I do not know? But I accept that this is so, and Your ways are above ours and founded on love and goodness.
I dedicate myself to You again today.
Amen
