you may have life in His name

Lord says that apart from Him, we can do nothing. Fine by me, since I am nothing. All that means is that He will do the heavy-lifting. I'm fine with this arrangement. Especially because that means it guarantees success.

From today, but meant for every day:

God says in Isaiah 25:8 that “He will swallow up death for all time, and the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken.” That was Jesus’s mission on earth: to save us from death and to wipe away our tears. Two days from now, this country celebrates independence. This country reserves a day to honor freedom, freedom won by the sacrifices made by others. My friend, the greatest freedom ever won for you was won by sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary two thousand years ago – freedom from sin and death for all eternity.

Every soul has a longing; every soul has a God-shaped hole that only Christ can fill. Today you can meet your salvation by asking Christ into your life. You can guarantee your place in Heaven. And in Heaven, my friend, God says in Revelation 21:4, “and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain." That is what awaits you if you turn over your life to Christ right now. And if you do that, the Bible says that all of Heaven, all of Heaven will celebrate, and the only tears shed at that grand party will be tears of great joy at your salvation. Take His outstretched, nail-pierced hand, my friend, and see it where it leads you.
