I really enjoyed the “The Beauty of the Future” aspect as it relates to looking to our final redemption and being forever with the LORD and loved ones who have gone on before us. That truly is a part of us that separates us from the world because we do not have to sorrow as they sorrow. It also reminded me of Paul’s passage in 1 Thess 5, 4-11
“But as for you, brethren, you are not in darkness, that the day shall come upon you as a thief, for as all of you are sons of light you are sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. So then, let us not go on sleeping as do the rest, but let us be constantly on the alert, and let us be mentally and spiritually well-balanced and self-controlled. For those who are sleeping, sleep in the night time, and those who are intoxicated, are intoxicated at night. But as for us who are of the day, let us be mentally and spiritually well-balanced and self-controlled, having clothed ourselves with a breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, a hope of salvation, because as for us, God did not appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation through our LORD Jesus Christ who died for us in order that whether we are awake [alive] or asleep [dead] we might live together with Him. Wherefore, be encouraging one another and be building one another up, one believer the other believer, even as also you are doing.”
That is what I believe your writings are doing today, encouraging believers to look up for their redemption draws nearer with each passing day. Praise God for He truly is LORD of all.
