He is risen! It's the only joy in this life, to know that Lord Jesus even reigns, and holds my soul in His hand. He's alive, and He is my life, and my hope; I hope that you have had a good day, my friend. May God bless and keep you, and lead you in the paths of righteousness for His namesake; remember that our Lord Jesus lives, and that He reigns, and that because He is our hope, and because all His promises are sure and true -- no trial or sorrow in this life is too great -- because though we ourselves are vile and weak -- we have a King who has taken our sins and nailed them to the cross. He has conquered death -- all things are in subjection under Him -- He is the King of kings and Lord of lords; and with unmeasurable lovingkindesses and tendermercies, He has promised to never forsake us -- but to always lead us every moment of every day -- until that day when He finally calls us home; where we shall live with Him for ever -- no more sorrow, no more sin -- only pure unadulterated joy -- because we will live ever in His presence and behold His face, and know that all the hardships we faced for His namesake are worth it -- because salvation is by Him alone, and all we endure in this life are nothing compared to the glory to be given us. Nothing we do in this life amounts to our salvation; Jesus alone is our Master, and our Lord, and our Saviour; He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; yet it is a wonderful privilege that He allows us to lead a life for Him (no matter how difficult it sometimes seems)... There is truly nothing like the power of the gospel, the Bible (His precious, Holy Word!), and God -- nothing and no one at all like our Lord Jesus; who lives today, standing at the right hand of the Father -- the atoning work finished once and for all.
Take heart, dear friend! For our greatest Friend even lives and intercedes for us today! There is no joy like the joy and peace He gives.
God bless you.
