A heart as big as Texas

I miss you

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers,
nor things present nor things to come,
nor height nor depth,
nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
----------------------~ Romans 8:38-39

We will know in heaven the effect of our lives,
when everyone gathers around the Lamb's throne
and all our hearts are open and all our secrets known,
and we have till forever to tell one another
how God blessed us through each other

Our friend and sister in Christ

If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the river of life
Where the charming roses bloom forever
And where separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
We will meet you on that beautiful shore

24: Live Another Day--Live Thread

24: Legacy--Live Thread

I was lost and undone without my God or His Son
When He reached down His hand for me
I was near to despair when He came to me there
And He showed me that I could be free
Then He lifted my feet gave me gladness complete
When He reached down His hand for me
------------~ Hymn

To him who overcomes I will give some of the
hidden manna to eat. And I will also give him a
white stone with a new name written on it, known
only to him who receives it." (Revelation 2:17)

Does that not thrill you? A new name. What does that mean?
Perhaps a name that reflects your new, redeemed character. A "victory" name - the way Simon [Peter] and Saul [Paul] and Jacob [Israel] and Abram [Abraham] were renamed following their encounters with the Lord. A new name, on a white stone. Perhaps a white stone similar to those that I'm told juries used in the first century. Yes - a white stone to show acquittal, pardon, and innocence rather than the black stone that was used in judgment.
Jesus is the great redeemer and the great re-namer. When He saves us and begins the process of sanctification He redeems our fallen character and begins to bring out the jewels and the gold of our new self with His refining and purifying fire. I wonder if perhaps when we meet Him in glory He will whisper our new name to us:
"You were once Liar. Your new name is Truthful."
"You are no longer Needy. Your new name is Fulfilled."
"I call you Beloved."
"You're new name is Beautiful."
"You're old name was Wounded. I pronounce you Healed."
I think of His love for me and it makes me gasp in awe.
His name is Wonderful!

Somebody's prayin, I can feel it
Somebody's prayin' for me
Mighty hands are guiding me
To protect what I can't see
Lord I believe, Lord I believe
That somebody's prayin' for me.

Angels are watchin', I can feel it
Angels are watchin' over me
There's many miles ahead 'til I get home
Still I'm safely kept before Your thrown
'Cause Lord I believe, Lord I believe
Your angels are watchin' over me.

Somebody's Praying ~ Ricky Skaggs

For God is my witness, how greatly I long
for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
