"Don't be afraid of what you are about to suffer--- but if you remain faithful, even when facing death. I will give you the crown of life" Revelation 1:10
This spoke/speaks to my heart in such a powerful way. You see, I feel like I've been messing with these kidney stones now for too long. I find myself starting to feel "afraid" as the pain hits. Almost a sense of panic. Not that it's hurting so bad I can't take it, but I start having these thoughts flit through my head..., how bad is this going to get? However, if I keep my eye on Jesus or as He says, "If I remain faithful, even when facing death. He will give me the crown of life!"
No, I do not think I am going to die, but if that's the worst case scenerio, then I am still a winner!
I am teaching a class at our homeschool co-op called Revelation and I'm LOVING it! If you've never read through Revelation it's a FASCINATING book! I happened to buy our pastors DVD series as well and so we read, discuss and then watch. The funny, but cool thing is that since we read FIRST, the Lord is able to speak to me personally as in the verse above, but then my pastor teaches and it's wonderfully educational. However, it's not as personal, it's more about gaining information. The two together are PERFECT!
I'll close with a verse that gives me CHILLS!
"I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, says the Lord. I am the one who is, who always was and who is still to come- The Almighty One! Rev 1:8
Thank you Lord Jesus. Once I understand who GREAT you are then It gives me security to "let go" of the things of this world and to rest in YOU!
I wanted to share a blog entry from this week that was near and dear to my heart. I had to retire my old bible which was 15 years old and welcomed a new one into my home and my heart: Click Here To Go To Mary's Main Blog Page
