VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: HEAVEN AWAITS THE FAITHFUL! (By Special Request)

Today Is Missing A Moment
The Moment I Would Spend With You
The Moment I Would Hear Your Voice
As I Would Spend Precious Time In The Lord With Just You!

I Feel You
And
I Think Of You, My Love
And
I Turn To Say Something To You
But ...
You're Not There!

I Stop ... Stunned
Angry ...
Sad ...
Realizing That 
There Is No More Looking Forward
To Tomorrows With You
And Wanting To Ask ... WHY!?!

But, THEN ... 

True To Our Shared Faith
In The Living God
I Remember That We Had
- I Still Have -
This Hope Within Our Hearts
That Jesus Is Real And Returning
And From The Vale Of Tears
We Shall One Glad Day
Forever Depart
And, So
I Stand Today
     In This Hour
         In This Moment
And I Say:

I Loved You - You Loved Me Back!

I Miss You - Cruel Death Attacked!

I Hope In The Lord Jesus

For

He Has Given

Sin Satan Death And Hell 

The Eternal Sack

AND

I Know We Shall See You

- Whole Healed Healthy -

When Heaven As The Scroll

Rolls Back

AND

I. Am. Blessed!

Beloved,
You Were Mine To Know
For A Short Time
As Man's Life Rolls
And Now
To Your Long Home
Your Mortal Coil Goes
BUT
To The Cinema Of Remembrance
Our Time Together Shall Go!
I Shall See You There!
How? When? Where? Why?
Who Knows?!
The Cinema Of Remembrance
Always Has A Picture Show!

I Shall See You In My Mind's Eye
AND
It Shall Be Enough
For
You Fell Asleep In The Lord Of Life
When You Ended Your Battle
In The Mortal Strife!

I Shall Cry!
We Shall All Cry For Your Felt Absence
BUT
We Shall Not Mourn As Heathens Do
For
Our Day Of Celebration
Is Fast Approaching
AND
We Know By Faith
That You Shall Be There
AND
Of That Knowledge We Have No Fear!

Sleep On, Well Beloved!
In Jesus Christ's Faith
We Shall Soldier On!
We Loved You
BUT
Almighty God Loves You Best!

Rest!

The Great And Glorious Day Approaches
When 
The Dew Of Eternal Life
Will 
Fall On The Faithful Of God
The Well And Truly Blessed!
Rest, Beloved!
Rest!

FORGIVEN SIN: The Cinema Of Remembrance!?!

I Went To The Cinema Of Remembrance!

"It"
Was Slated To Be Block-Buster Show

BUT

What I Saw Did Not Make Me Happy

For

It Was Something That I Had Already Seen

AND

It Contained Theatrics That
I Had Seriously Outgrown!

I Was Shown A Video
A Reel Of What I Had Done
Day Before Yesterday Yesterday

AND

It Was Filled With High-Lights Of

A Low Life

Of Things I Had Already Given Over To Jesus Christ

AND

For Which He For My Forgiveness

His Own Precious Blood Had Painfully Paid!

I Was Not Amused

When I Finally Caught On

That Is Was Satan Running The Cinema

AND

Wanting Me To Doubt 
Almighty God's Blessing Of Forgiveness

AND

Go Back To Useless Stressful Wayward Living!

I Said A Prayer Of Thankfulness

To My Known True God

AND

I Got Up With Determination

AND

I Called That Satan What He Was

- A Plain Fraud -
Handing Him A 

"Thus Saith The Lord ...!"

AND

Humbly ... Needfully
Called On The Shepherd Of Rest

To Continue Leading Me On

To Green Pastures
Where There Is Good Living!
There Is Really Faith-First Success
By Rendered Obedience Giving!

Satan Is The Liar!

Jesus Christ IS The Truth

AND

Any Forgiveness

Received From The Truth

Is True

AND

Good

For Forever Use!

PLEASE

Do Not Let Satan Steal Your Joy

By Encouraging You To Sojourn

In

The Cinema

Of

Forgiven-Sin Remembrance!

Instead

Let Christ Jesus

By The Holy Spirit

Lead You Forward

To The Land Of Reward

By Your Walking Prayerfully

Hopefully

Helpfully

Trustingly

In The Known Merits Of Emmanuel

Shiloh 

Our Savior

Our Righteousness

The King Of Salem

The Prince Of Peace

The Holy Eternal God!

Remembrance Has Its Place

BUT

It Is Not To Doubt

Almighty God's Forgiveness

By Remembering Forgotten Sin

Purged

From The Chronicles Of God!

The Living God's Grace 
Is Greater Than Your Sin!
It Is Forgiven
AND
Forgotten
Tossed Into God's Forgetfulness Sea
So

Let It Go

AND

Be Glad In The God Who Owns Eternity!

You Can't Beat God's Giving

Nor

His Forgiving!
