Save

We that follow Christ ‘choose’ to follow 'Him'. Thus, over time, with much love and gratitude, we come to embrace the fact that…'He' is not our servant, we are, by choice…'His' (Eph 3:1). And we Press-on, amen.

Having seen many sunsets and and gift of host days, My Lord… we continue this ordained journey… within the supreme auspices of… Your Will. Indeed, void of 'enlightened' intentions our backs were turned… we were lost and followed You not, yet... You inquired of us…to do… Your Will. Whereby, having said…‘yes’… to the spreading of Your acclaim we now…‘elect’…to wait at Your feet committed and surrendered, to carry out… Your Will. So, it is…here, we stand… protected and endeared from above by power of…Golgotha’s Redeeming Love. And, it’s without shame we can readily admit… there are instances when we grow weak but we're held by ropes of Mercy and Grace that keep. Albeit, while winds of persecution surely blow… we repeatedly overcome the screeching shrill… strengthened, O My Lord, to follow…Your Will. Ps 121:5-8, Lam 3:22, Isa 6:8, Ephes 6:13-17 ©jmsbell- 3/14/2024

As far as I'm concerned: these are two of the most important things in our lives. His Will. And our faith. For faith is not a vague idea or a blind leap in the dark. It is something very real and grounded, and holds even when everything else feels uncertain. Like it is in the world now.
"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind, and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3: 13-14
"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." – James 1:12
"Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." – Romans 5:3-4
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." – 1 Thessalonians 5:11
.
Thank you JMS Bell, for your consistently uplifting words and the fearless sharing of your strong faith. Warmest regards... Richard

My will is written and securely shared with my beneficiaries to make sure that there will be no dispute at the time of my leaving and not coming back.

We all should make a clear will and make sure that our loved ones know about it.
