verse of the day

Monday 12 April 2021

Don't despair . ( Romans 8 v 18 )

 In  Colossians 3 v 1- 4 ,we read ,'Since,  then , you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above , not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ  in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears , then you will appear with him in glory.' These words run contrary to those who say, that being heavenly minded, makes us of no earthly use. My mind often turns to my homeland, no I am not talking about Ireland, I am talking about heaven, were my Saviour is ,I want to leave with you the words of what once was a popular song, it is called ,'It will be worth it all when we see Jesus'.

                                     Sometimes the day seems long, our trials are hard to bear,

                                     We are tempted to complain, to murmur  and complain.

                                      But Christ will soon appear, to catch his bride away.

                                     All tears forever over ,in God's eternal day.

                                     It will be worth it all when we see Jesus!

                                     Life's trials will seem so small, when  we see Christ,

                                     One glimpse of his dear face, all sorrow will erase ,

                                     So , bravely run the race, till we see Christ.
