Isaiah 40:11
King James Version
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those
that are with young.
Ever tried loving, without thought of return?
Ever worked, without thought of pay?
Ever cared for others, just for the joy of it?
Ever saw the beauty of others, just as they are?
Ever gave your heart to the Lord, for it felt right?
Ever read the Bible, realizing it was the most beautiful book in the world?
Well, that's what happened to me, in the 26 months God made me born again.
Invaluable knowledge.
Growing wisdom.
Priceless truths.
I began to enjoy the little things in life.
More than ever.
Though I've always liked simple, as born again, I became even simpler.
JESUS ruled my life.
I surrendered everything to Him.
It was a relief to do so.
For, by myself, I was not able to figure out my life.
With JESUS, things began to make sense.
My thinking became organized.
My writing became sensible.
My loving became real.
Everything streamed forth, from Jesus.
Like rays of light from His heart, my heart began to shine, too.
I became truly happy, and content.
And when grief passed by our house 36 days ago, I could only reminisce about my beloved baby sis.
She was a gift from heaven.
She was my partner at work.
With God, with Jesus, with the Holy Spirit, and with my sis, I was able to study, write, create, and share much each day.
Now that my heart has been shattered, I look to Jesus for help.
Only through JESUS can I have the strength to keep going.
Physically, I don't have my baby sis to hold anymore.
But spiritually, she is with JESUS now.
My heart continues to overflow with love for her.
Earth time is not sufficient time for love.
I await the day, I will be reunited with her.
For all eternity.
Revelation 21:1-5
King James Version
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow,
nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold,
I make all things new.
And he said unto me,
Write:
for these words are true and faithful.
Love does not think of gain.
It only gives.
1 John 4:7-13
King James Version
7 Beloved,
let us love one another:
for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God,
and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God;
for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son
into the world,
that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love,
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation
for our sins.
11 Beloved,
if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time.
If we love one another,
God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we
that we dwell in him,
and he in us,
because he hath given us of his Spirit.
Romans 8:38-39
King James Version
38 For I am persuaded,
that neither death,
nor life,
nor angels,
nor principalities,
nor powers,
nor things present,
nor things to come,
39 Nor height,
nor depth,
nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us
from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
