A Planting of Faith Seeds for the Glory of the LORD
Your Life is precious treat it with Jesus…
“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.” (Revelation 3:8, NLT)
I write this morning’s Glory Seed with both a heavy heart and a joyous heart. Two rooms away from me my Mother-in-Law is in the final stages of walking through the door opened by Jesus that leads to Eternal Life. As I listen to the sound of her breathing coming from the monitor I am reminded how precious life really is and yet at the same time I know the Life that is drawing her right now is far more precious than any of us can imagine.
There are times when I wonder why it is that it takes the death of a loved one or our own “brush” with death before we really stop and consider how precious life really is. Could it be that we get so caught up in living that the true impact of Life really is takes a backseat?
On the other side of Life yesterday as I held in my great grandson in my arms and felt the newness of his life I was also reminded how precious life really is. This morning as those two experiences one Life beginning a journey here on earth and another Life beginning a journey in heaven both born on the same day 95 years apart meet in my simple mind and as I look into the great mystery Life I can only say, “While I really don’t understand Life however I do understand Life is precious and when treated with Jesus the precious Life we live here becomes a precious life in Eternity. But that is not all! When we treat Life with Jesus the Life we live in the here and now opens up to the Blessings and the Presence of God the Father and it doesn’t get any better than that!”
Your Life is precious treat it with Jesus!
“Jesus says to you my friend, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, _____________________?” (John 11:25–26, NLT, adapted)
Believe it! Experience it!
Grace and PEACE!
