ONE- - WHO THE FATHER HAS CALLED HOME

 Dear Loved- ones of Ms. Tina Renee Jones, a child of God- - who HE has chosen to call home.

Let’s rejoice in the Knowledge of truth, that she is not there alone.

She has been called out of the valley of the shadow of death

Into a Heavenly eternity -- her spiritual home.

Though for a time we will grieve, there will be a family reunion

for those of us who believe In our  Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

We will also join our loved- ones, yes we will meet them in the sky!

For to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord

So we must run, to win this race to receive our reward!

Yeah, she is with our Father, and family who have gone before

We must be comforted by the thought that she will shed tears no more

She has no more pain, heartache nor disappointment

She has entered into the eternal gift of God, made available by Atonement

Although it is hard for some to understand

We must keep in mind that her appointed time, was always in GOD’S hand.

For we also seek a Heavenly Country, and are Pilgrims in this Land!

Yes know that believers here are just passing through

For Christ has prepared a place for her, me and for you!

The Father’s determined will shall always come to pass

Realize that we; as she has; are in service to the Lord and have a predestined task

The life we live for Christ must be Loving and Fervent

So that when we are called home

We hear, well done you good and faithful servant!

With prayer and supplications we make our requests known

But we cannot expect them to be given to us

When we are seeking our own!

Realize that we were put here for our focus to be on someone else

Family, friends and the poor, to be a blessing to others, sacrificing our self.

I realize that things are not perfect in this family

But, in times like this, the only thing that matters in our unity

So let this be a time of Revival and Thanksgiving

For this service is not for those that have passed

But for we who are living

Trust and believe the prophecies of the Bible shall come to Pass

Those that are last shall be first, and the first shall be last!

Realize this is a spiritual battle, things are not as they appear

We must arm ourselves with the Word of God

For he has not given us the Spirit of Fear

Remain in knowledge that the things of this world shall not get better

Which is why I was, lead to write this poem -- to you– my Love Letter

For those of us who are in Christ

Remember to whom you Belong, Make praise in your Heart to the Lord

In this time of pain, and Sing him a New Song!

But for those of you hear who have not received Christ

There is no better time to surrender your life

For he was battered for you sin and bruised for your iniquity

He surrendered all he had a right to – for a time-- For you to gain eternity

Rejoice the Vail of the temple has been torn granting access to the Holiest of Holies

See your father’s hand stretched fourth saying -- come close; and Know me!

The time is drawing near, we can no longer ignore

Here the urgency in His knocking

Saying, “Beloved” Please open the door!

Be filled with my Spirit Covered with my blood

Walk in the newness of life, and my Unfeigned Love!

For  if you long to see our loved one again

You may not enter Heaven without the cleansing of your sin.

A perpetual cleansing, one that once you have, will never end

Know that when you fall, repent and for sake that sin, then get up again!

For it would sadden me to think, that you wouldn’t be with us in our heavenly home,

As we are one by one called to reunite with our loved ones who have gone

and our most recent to depart - MS. Tina Renee Jones
