JESUS CHRIST IS LORD

It's with a heavy heart that I begin this blog, a very close friend of mine has passed away and the pain that I feel for her loss at times has been unbareable, I've cried a million tears, I've felt the sting of loss, it has been difficult at best to try and move foward, but rather reaching for a bottle, or joint, or anything else destructive I reached for my bible and read and listen to the voice of ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS SON JESUS, as I said the pain of loss is a difficult one trust me on that. I don't know if anyone that's reading this has experienced the loss of a close friend or even a relative but truly it is difficult to handle, I know everyone deals with the loss of a loved one in different ways, but I'm finding out as I read the word is that JESUS is still in control of all things in this thing we experience called life. I still shed tears not so much for her loss but did she make it to GLORY or not, thats my concern, we where friends for years and CHRIST came up in many of our conversations so my hope is that she did believe and that did make it to GLORY, as we live our lives the biggest thing we have to prepare for is our eventual death and were where going to spend eternity either we have accepted the free gift of GOD or we've accepted the lie of the devil. As one reads this I hope that I haven't offended anyone, but the truth is the truth, but hope and prayers are that the either world gets saved and can spend eternity with JESUS and all the heavenly hosts that you have read about or heard about in the word because they are in GLORY as my hope is that I'll be among them when the sand in my hour glass runs out and I know that I will without a doubt. GOD loves us so much that he sent his son to die in our place so we can know him on earth, experience his love through all our painful moments in life, this painful moment in our lives help builds our character and faith, and one might say how does the loss of a loved one help build our character and faith you may ask, its our response to the situation that will determine that, as I've stated I've loss a very close friend like a sister to me, and as I stated could've done a number of things, but I choice to listen to the word of GOD, rather than doing something rash and destructive to myself or someone else or to my spirit and character. We've all heard at one time or another that life is short and precious and it surely is so the ones that we hold close and dear to us, tell them that you love them, that there appreciated and do that with our neighbors and thats anyone that maybe standing next to you, do them no harm, because love does no ill will toward there brothern. Now for me it has taken a loss like this to remind myself who I am in CHRIST, to tell the people that are close to me that I loved them and there appreciated and to my neighbor as well to do no harm to them, and respect them for who they are short comings and all, because we all have our short comings no matter what they are seen or unseen so we can pass from this life to eternal life and have every concern and tears wiped away. As I write this, this is what I have to keep in mind and hold on as I pick up my cross and keep my eyes always on the prize, that on that day when my name is called and I stand before ALMIGHTY GOD and my name is in the Lambs book of life that I'm accounted as worth to enter into the Kingdom of GOD, that when JESUS confesses my name before ALMIGHT GOD and his angles that I am worth to enter into the Kingdom of GOD, that everything I have read in the word that ALMIGHTY GOD is going to do, my white rope and my crown of gold and every tear shall be wiped away. Ladies and Gentleman take a very good look around you the signs of the times are before us, if CHRIST is not your personal savior please make him your personal savior, for those of you that are saved this is a letter of incouragement stay strong in the faith because one day you can exchange it
