A DAY OF HAPPINESS

"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

Jim Hill sings one of my favorite hymns "What a Day That Will Be". Every time I sing this hymn or hear it, I get so excited knowing that I'm going to see Jesus.

"There is coming a day, When no heart aches shall come, No more clouds in the sky, No more tears to dim the eye, All is peace forever more, On that happy golden shore, What a day, glorious day that will be.

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."

Are you going to be there on that day of happiness? Has there ever been a time in your life when you admitted you were a sinner, told God you were sorry and asked Jesus to come into your heart to be your Saviour? If not, I urge you to do it even as you read this devotion.

Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you. Don't keep hurting Jesus and breaking His heart.
