"Yet Nothing could stand before or against the Presence, nothing in Heaven, nothing on earth. Revelation 20:11.
Then books were opened : the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what was written in the books, by the way they had lived. Revelation 20:12.
So much to grab hold of and behold.
He is coming. How then do we live? I am reminded of some of my favorite quotes from 66 Love Letters as I close this book ...
"If you could see right now what is happening in the Unseen World, you would be filled with hope. You must trust Me for whatever tastes of Glory I choose to provide in this life. You have become a prisoner of hope." 66 LLYet we all live in days gone by: You wonder how you failed, contributing to your children's failures. You worry that your faith was too small. "Satan encourages an obsessive and superstitious look at your failure." I see all your failure---I bathe you until you become a Sweet Fragrance. 66 LL
"The legalist in you will want to mourn what was painful in the past and what is still painful today. You will want to focus more on healing past wounds and filling present emptiness than living in hope. Do not obsess over yesterday's troubles or today's problems." 66 LL Live in hope!
Find the present hope...
