Such sadness comes upon me as as I hear about loved ones who are suffering....whether in spirit or in health. The Lord tells us in John 16:33 that, "In this world you will have trouble...BUT take heart! I have overcome the world."

This temporary world for which we live, isn't our real home, as our citizenship is in heaven, "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. – 2 Corinthians 4:18

As long as my eyes are fixed on the pain and suffering in this world, my heart breaks. As I focus my eyes on what is "unseen", my heart still breaks, as I see loved ones suffer, yet it is my Lord who fills me with His peace because of His message of hope...His guarantee that one day... all who are in Christ... will live "Happily Ever After"...in a perfect world... where there will be no more tears, no more pain. The added plus is that we will get new perfect bodies!

A place where we will be reunited with our loved ones in heavenly bliss.

So daily I will choose to fix my eyes on the unseen, beyond the hardships that come my way, and be filled with His peace because one day, He will call me Home to live Happily Ever After.

When God Calls Me Home

On that day, marked out for me~

God will call me home.

At the perfect time, in the perfect way~

He will shout down from His throne.

Joni, my child, the time has come~

I want you by my side.

Your job on earth is finished now~

I hope you enjoyed the ride.

So come on now and be with me~

in Eternal bliss,

Your true life begins right now~

It doesn't get better than this.

You fought the good fight with persevering faith~

Come meet me face to face.

It's time to get the redeeming prize~

For running the Christian race.

May you experience pure joy and peace in the midst of your circumstances, as you fix your eyes on the unseen...knowing the Lord has created a Happily Ever After that is way beyond your comprehension.

In His Peace,

Joni
