"The Lord Almighty will reign gloriously. And we will be partakers in the splendors of the latter days, whatever they may be, and so we will be with the Lord forever."
Family will forget you, friends we'll forget you, and even your enemies will forget you, but God is always with us through life and death. When we are called home, it hurts all our family members and friends for a while, but as the days turn into weeks and weeks become months, the memory of us will fade. Everything in this world will be forgotten people, places, and things. The only thing that people do remember is God. Even in a demented and Alzheimer's state, people still remember God. So while I'm sitting here meditating on life and situations that I've been through with death, I know God is the only thing that will matter at the beginning and the end.
Father, thank You for Your love and grace that neither death, nor life, nor thing present, nor things to come can separate us from You. Lord, teach us to observe all that You command of us and keep our life free from the love of money. Even though we walk through this Vally of death daily, we will not fear because You hold our hands. Father, help us keep Your dwelling place clean to give You room to move in and through us. Lord, let us not get caught up in the glam and excitement of this dark place but stay focused on You and Your glory. Lord, teach us how to walk, glorify You, and help others as we diligently seek You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Amen Amen Amen
