ONE JOYFUL AND HAPPY 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."

1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17
King James Version

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a beautiful hymn "It Will Be Worth It All". Thank God that one day all our sorrow and heartaches will be over and we will be with Jesus forever!

"Sometimes the day seems long, Our trials hard to bear. We´re tempted to complain, to murmur and despair. But Christ will soon appear to catch his bride away! All tears forever overin God’s eternal day!

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus! Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ. One glimpse of his dear face, all sorrow will erase. So, bravely run the race till we see Christ."

The next time you get discouraged and feel like giving up and going to bed, remember one happy day we will have the privilege to seeing Jesus face to face. Are you shouting with happiness yet?

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful hymn "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR". This is one of my favorite hymns.

"Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me?

Face to face I shall behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by!"

Thank You, Jesus, for dying for our sins and paying the price that we could never have paid. How it fills my heart with happiness to know I am going to spend eternity in Heaven with You. I love You so much.
