Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with GOD through our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Through HIM we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of GOD.”
One and Two!
When a spouse quickly passes,
a void enters in…
as that gap between
Fellowship’s circle.
With sadness and longing,
comes lack of belonging
and memories are left that
might slowly fade.
So when CHRIST died on Calvary
stood you at the Cross?
Did you watch from a distance…
or closer?
For True Love binds the heart
even when drawn apart…
To the Ancient of Days
is one’s soul.
So two questions remaining.
One: “Will you endure?”
Will you patiently watch
for our SAVIOUR?
Hear now; I encourage!
Stand firm ever watching since
Two asks: “Will your faith wait…
three days?”
As HIServant reminding myself to
watch faithfully without any decrease,

Devotional: Romans 5:3-4 “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
…and hope does not put us to shame, because GOD’s love has been poured into our hearts through the HOLY SPIRIT WHO has been given to us.”
As I was driving this morning, a thought dropped into my heart and I replayed it frequently for about 5 minutes.
Consider the period of three days from HIS crucifixion to HIS resurrection. Whose belief fading or disappeared after the first hour? What about the end of the first day?
By way of comparison, whose faith endures whenever loss of income, health and loved ones happen simultaneously?
As a Day is as a thousand Years to GOD, so HE asks us to wait patiently for HIM. To wait…ACTIVELY.
In a sermon I did years ago, I made the comparison of someone claiming to be warmed by HIS fires yet standing far off from HIM.
The distance equates to one’s level of love. How close will they draw to HIM when sacrifice and worldly loss are heightened?
So let us most assuredly and most visibly prove to be waiting faithfully past the proverbial 3 days, even 3 thousand years!
HE IS COMING! Watch now with zeal! Look up to the skies past the old rugged Cross and endure till
HE comes!
Amen and amen!
