I wont die blue because I've known you, Jesus

Good morning! Its Pentecost! I took a walk this morning. I went to pray. I was listening to a song and the lyrics meant something totally different but in a God honoring way. I wrote it down. 

If I should die tonight,  though it be far before my time, I wont die blue because I have known You, Jesus. Oh how many eyes have seen their dreams? How many arms have felt their dream? How many hearts have felt their world stand still? Millions never, never never, and millions never will. 

But my eyes have seen the Lord and I have dreamt of this day. My arms have touched my dream whenever I've felt the presence of fhe Lord or embraced a fellow Christian. The Lord literally put the world at a stand still. 

I could die a happy man because I have known the One True Living God and His Son Jesus Christ and indwelled by His Holy Spirit. Conscience clear before Him. I have sought and found the answer to the question "What is the purpose of life on Earth?" The answer is: To find and know Jesus Christ and to be known by Him and be found in Jesus.

If youre not okay with suffering, Jesus isnt for you

If suffering for Christ is "not your bag" or "it doesnt spark your joy" then real Biblical Christianity is not for you. We are told over and over to be Christlike, right?

In other words, do as Jesus did. Are you greater than your Master? If He was aquainted with suffering, why would you be spared? David said that in his affliction  God's word comforted him. 

Deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus to Calvary to die to your sins! If you have died with Christ, you will be resurrected with Him and you will also recieve your glorified body when Christ returns. 

The great and terrible day of the Lord, we who believe in the begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, we will not be ashamed and hide. We will stand and rejoice because our redemption has finally arrived. We have arrived to our promised end. 

Stamp eternity on your eyes because we are all headed to an eternal existence. One will be in the presence of God in paradise for ever and ever. On the other hand, those who rejected Jesus as Lord amd Savior, will get what they wanted. Life without God. 

For the Christians, this life on Earth will be the worst it will get for you. You died when you gave your life to Jesus, so the second death will not harm you. Your last breath on Earth, will be your first breath in eternity and forever in the presence of our Lord and God Jesus Christ. 

But for the non believer, this vain existence will be as good as it gets. Anything that is good, pleasant, beautiful and pure is from God. Take God out of your life and that is called Hell. That is where Satan, his fallen angels, death, and the children of Satan will go. A sinner will die in their sin in the first death, and the second death will utterly consume them with fire forever. 

I know this isn't a pleasant message. But with God, you take the good and harsh teachings. God corrects those whom He loves and takes in as a child. Suffering is not God's rejection,  its His acceptance and sonship. Thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
