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.
