Scripture tells us that if our heart does not condemn us then we have strength and peace with God. I have once again been made aware of this wonderful position we have in service to God. Yesterday Barb & I visited a wonderful saint of God who was making her exit to join the ranks of all the saints of God who have died in Christ. Gloria Cherry was a life long resident of Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes and had served with her husband the late J. B. Cherry for many, many years of faithful service.
The last conversation I had with her was last Monday evening concerning a man she had brought to church the previous Wednesday in hopes of helping him. She lived her faith to the fullest and yesterday, the 27th of January 2012 at 5:55 p.m. slipped into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One of her blogs in recent days was "I'm homesick for heaven." She is now there comforted in the presence of God forever and ever.
The lady I have been acquainted with always had a smile and a desire to help others. In heaven the scripture tells us that we "shall be known as we are known." Heaven is enjoying the delightful spirit with added laughter, singing and praise. Heaven has gained a worthy servant.
Do you have a wonderful awareness that your hope is in "nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness?" You can. Ask Jesus to come into your life and forgive you of your sins and tell Him of your need for Godly direction. He will be happy to come and help you. Do it now.

Our Consistency is of Christ
Read Colossians 1:15 and follow these following comments.
One word there - Consist - is defined as "held together."
See if you can get a lift from the following statements?
By Him all things consist.
By Him creation consists.
By Him redemption consists.
By Him the Church consist.
By Him doctrine consists.
By Him the resurrection consists.
By Him Christian fellowship consists.
By Him all Christian experience consists.
By Him overcoming consists.
By Him the resurrection consists.
By Him the furuter consists.
Therefore stay close to Jesus and you won't worry about the future.
You will be the answer for others and their future.
God bless

Past Present Future
The celerations of this past season are quickly shrinking in the rear view mirror of life and living.
We have several days we remember such as New Years day, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
THanksgiving and Christmas. We have several other days during the year that are memorialized for one reason or another and each has its own significance.
I have found one simple way of staying somewhat fresh in life. That is to not forget the past, live right in the present knowing that the future awaits us.
No place does this hold more significance than our life and service in and for Christ. Our rememberance of the past is important in that we resolve to be an overcomer of our spiritual failings and rejocie when we have spiritual victories. We must live a balanced life with the past by remembering those failures and victories and bring their remembrance into our present living.
The failures should be a springboard to project our lives toward those things that make for life in Christ therefore victory. Our victories should be cherished in order to be thankful to the Lord who gives us the victory.
In living the present successfully we then look with joy and expectation at our future because Jesus has purchased our lives on the cross, thereby giving us hope and promise of a new life here, now and eternal life when Jesus comes for all His saints from the past and present who have secured their future in Christ.
Your future is bright in the light of God's gift to all - Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
God bless you all
