ONE HAPPY AND JOYOUS DAY

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
King James Version

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the beautiful heart touching hymn "What a Day That Will Be". This is one of my favorite hymns. How I long for this day.

"What a day that will be, When my Jesus I shall see, And I look upon His face, The One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand, And leads me through the Promised Land, What a day, glorious day that will be.

There'll be no sorrow there, No more burdens to bear, No more sickness, no pain, No more parting over there; And forever I will be, With the One who died for me, What a day, glorious day that will be."

If you are discouraged, lonely and going through dark valleys and feel like going to bed and staying there, tell Jesus. He will pick you up in His compassionate loving arms and carry you until the pain goes away.
