I'll Hold You In Heaven

In loving memory of Mia and Ryley and our precious ones…
“… I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” ~ 2 Samuel 12:23b
I’ll Hold You in Heaven
My precious baby… My aching heart longs to hold you, you’re the treasure of my heart! You grasp your fingers around mine tightly not wanting to depart. I caressed your cheek so softly. Your eyes looked warmly into mine. Your breath of life slipped away, it seemed before its time.
Your sweetness touched the hearts of many. Your presence still lingers on. I’ll hold you once again in heaven but now you’re in Jesus’ arms.
My eyes glance upwards toward heaven with tears streaming down my face. “Take care of my precious baby until I shall see her face.”
God’s love seemed to enfold me as peacefulness filled my heart. I could almost hear the choir of angels strumming their angelic harps!
Tell mommy for me Jesus I’ve been sheltered from many storms. It was the grace of God upon the innocent that He received me into His arms.
For I am under the wings of His protection. I’ve reached the Promised Land! Jesus loves the little children for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
For God is sovereign in His salvation He chooses whoever He will. He receives those who die as babies who have no merits of their own.
There’s no sadness here, nor sorrow… warm laughter fills the air! There’s multitude of angels, mommy, there’s babies everywhere!
God’s children all surround Him, He sets them on His knees. Each one of them are precious for the kingdom of heaven belongs to these.
The death of a child is heartbreaking, the most painful grief we’ll bear. You’re under the wings of the Lord, dear mommy, you’re in His loving care.
His love reached down from the heights of heaven to reach down His hand to hold mine. “I’ll hold you in heaven, my precious baby when God calls me home sometime!”
Your lips shall call me mommy, it’ll be music to my ears! I’ll have my dreams fulfillment… when I’ll hold you so near.
Jesus said, “…Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” ~ Mark 10:14b
“Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Today, my heart has felt like it has been clenched numerous times at not only the thought of our angel baby, Ryley, but also at the thought of my angel nieces and nephews, and my friends’ angel babies.
My heart breaks, and I wish I could understand why God takes our babies so soon.
But I am also reminded of a verse that I read a while ago that has helped me: Ecclesiastes 4:3 “But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.” (NIV) Although we are unable to hold Ryley, God is holding our baby in his arms and is taking care of Ryley, while we here on Earth take care of our baby on the way. Who could possibly be a better caretaker for our Ryley than the one who takes care of us?”
“One year ago, on April 6th, 2017, we lost one of our babies. We had known we were pregnant for a couple of weeks then, and I was having almost daily panic attacks. But that morning, it was worse than it had been ever before. I couldn’t function at all. I couldn’t get ready for work. I woke up, and I just knew that something was wrong. I knew that something wasn’t right with the pregnancy. I set up an appointment with my doctor, and they ordered blood tests and an ultrasound. The ultrasound wouldn’t be for a couple of weeks, but they assured me that everything would be fine. My blood work came back with everything being okay, besides having a very low Vitamin D level.
I was eight weeks when we had the ultrasound. They first showed us that we had one healthy baby. And then they told us that we had lost a baby at around 6 weeks, which was the same day that I woke up and couldn’t function. I knew instantly that we had lost our baby that day.
I couldn’t help but wonder immediately why God had taken our baby. But then, in the next year, I realized why. In this last year, I have heard of and known many other women who have lost their babies. And this pain that God had me go through has helped me be able to walk with these women and help them with their pain. Each time I have heard of one, I have felt their pain and my own pain all over again.
And now, our healthy baby is 4 months old. I get to snuggle my precious boy every night. There are times I can’t help but wonder what it would have been like if I had been able to have twins. But right now, I am just grateful for my baby boy.
Sometimes, when we are hurting, we don’t understand why God does the things He does. We don’t see his full picture. But then, sometimes a year, sometimes a few years, in the future, we begin to see why God has us go through this pain. Most of the time, it’s so we can connect with people. It’s so that we can walk beside people who went through the same pain we did, and help them through their pain.
It’s been a year, and although sometimes my grief is strong, my God is stronger, and I now understand why He took our angel away. I found a verse that has helped me through some of the more difficult days. Ecclesiastes 4:3: “But most fortunate of all are those who are not yet born. For they have not seen all the evil that is done under the sun.” (NLT). Our angel baby is being held by our great and powerful God. Ryley will not know the pain of heartache, or the feeling of sadness. Ryley will know happiness, and will know the feeling of being held by our Savior. Thinking of that is what is helping me on this anniversary. Our Ryley is in Heaven, and is playing with all of the other angel babies. One day, I will get to hold Ryley. But for now, I know that Ryley is safe in the arms of our Savior, and cannot be harmed.”
Dear Soul,
Do you have the assurance that if you were to die today, you’ll be in the presence of the Lord in heaven? Death for a believer is but a doorway that opens into eternal life. Those who fall asleep in Jesus will be reunited with their loved ones in heaven.
Those you’ve laid in the grave in tears, you shall meet them again with joy! Oh, to see their smile and feel their touch… never to part again!
Yet, if you don’t believe in the Lord, you’re going to hell. There is no pleasant way to say it.
The Scripture says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” ~ Romans 3:23
Soul, that includes you and me.
Only when we realize the awfulness of our sin against God and feel its deep sorrow in our hearts can we turn from the sin we once loved and accept the Lord Jesus as our Savior.
…that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. – 1 Corinthians 15:3b-4
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ~ Romans 10:9
Don’t fall asleep without Jesus until you are assured of a place in heaven.
Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life, first you must believe in the Lord. You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven and put your trust in the Lord. To be a believer in the Lord, ask for eternal life. There’s only one way to heaven, and that’s through the Lord Jesus. That’s God’s wonderful plan of salvation.
You can begin a personal relationship with Him by praying from your heart a prayer such as the following:
“Oh God, I’m a sinner. I’ve been a sinner all of my life. Forgive me, Lord. I receive Jesus as my Savior. I trust Him as my Lord. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
If you have never received the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, but have received Him today after reading this invitation, please let us know.
We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient, or place an “x” in the space to remain anonymous.
Today, I made peace with God...

A Letter From Heaven
It’s so beautiful up here, mama; so beautiful like you’ve always said! A pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God.
So overwhelmed with His love was I, dear mama! Imagine my joy seeing Jesus face to face! His smile – so warm… His face – so radiant… “Welcome home my child!” He tenderly said.
Oh, don’t be sad for me, mama. I can run and jump dance and sing! I feel so light on my feet like I’m dreaming, mama! Sometimes I laugh as I dance in the presence of the angels. The curse of death has lost its sting.
Oh, don’t cry for me so, mama. Your teardrops fall like the summer rain. Death is sorrowful with its separation. Cry for a while, but not like those who cry in vain.
Although God called me home so early, with so many dreams, so many songs unsung, I’ll be in your heart, in your cherished memories. The moments we had will carry you through.
Oh remember, mama, when at bedtime I’d crawl up in your bed? You would tell me stories of Jesus and the love He had for us.
I looked into your face and said, as you read to me by the candlelight. “Will the angels come to carry me home too, mama?” You chuckled teasingly, ruffling my hair. “Yes, my little angel, but you have to wait. Trust Him as your Savior, and in His blood that was shed for you.”
On bended knees you prayed for me, a tear splashed down your cheek. “Was that a tear mama?” I asked you softly. You looked away from me. A tender sigh escaped your lips… gathering your thoughts together… “Yes, my little angel, tears in my heart water my prayers.” you said softly, kissing me goodnight.
I remember those nights, mama ~ your treasured stories. Mama’s lullabies that I tucked in my heart. In the darkness the slamming of daddy’s door echoed his drunkenness in the night. Through the thin walls I could hear you cry. An angel weeps, my mama. “Take care of mama…” I asked God softly, watering my prayers with tears.
That night when you prayed for me I got down on my knees. The moonlight danced on the wooden floors when I asked God to save me. Although I didn’t know what to say at first, I remember what you said. Pray from your heart, dear child, you said tenderly turning to the door to leave.
“Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I’m sorry for my sins. I’m sorry they were so mean to you when they nailed you to the tree. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and should the angels come, take me to heaven with You. And Jesus, I hear mama crying. Watch her while she sleeps. Forgive daddy for being so mean, as You have forgiven me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Jesus came into my life that night, dear mama! In the darkness I could feel you smile. Bells rang for me in heaven! My name written in the Book of Life.
So don’t cry for me, dear mama. I’m here in heaven because of you. Jesus needs you now, for there are my brothers. There’s more work on earth for you to do.
One day when your work is over, the angels shall come to carry you. Safely into the arms of Jesus, the One who loved and died for you.
Dear soul,

A Letter From Hell
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.” ~ Luke 16: 27-28
Tonight, while reading this letter, someone’s mother, father, sister, brother or dearest friend will slip into eternity only to meet their decision in hell.
Imagine receiving a letter like this from one of your loved ones. Written by a young man to his God fearing mother. He died and went to Hell… Let it not be said of you!
A Letter From Hell
Dear Mom,
I am writing to you from the most horrible place that I have ever seen, and more horrible than you could ever imagine. It is BLACK here, so DARK that I cannot even see all the souls I am constantly bumping into. I only know they are people like myself from the blood curdling SCREAMS. My voice is gone from my own screaming as I writhe in pain and suffering. I cannot even cry for help anymore, and it is no use anyway, there is no one here that has any compassion at all for my plight.
The PAIN and suffering in this place is absolutely unbearable. It so consumes my every thought, I could not know if there were any other sensation to come upon me. The pain is so severe, it never stops day or night. The turning of days does not appear because of the darkness. What may be nothing more than minutes or even seconds seems like many endless years. The thought of this suffering continuing without end is more than I can bear. My mind is spinning more and more with each passing moment. I feel like a madman, I cannot even think clearly under this load of confusion. I fear I am losing my mind.
The FEAR is just as bad as the pain, maybe even worse. I don’t see how my predicament could be any worse than this, but I am in constant fear that it MIGHT be at any moment.
My mouth is parched, and will only become more so. It is so dry that my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth. I recall that old preacher saying that’s what Jesus Christ endured as he hung on that old rugged cross. There is no relief, not so much as a single drop of water to cool my swollen tongue.
To add even more misery to this place of torment, I know that I deserve to be here. I am being punished justly for my deeds. The punishment, the pain, the suffering is no worse than I justly deserve, but admitting that now will never ease the anguish that burns eternally in my wretched soul. I hate myself for committing the sins to earn such a horrible fate, I hate the devil that deceived me so that I would end up in this place. And as much as I know it is an unspeakable wickedness to think such a thing, I hate the very God that sent his only begotten Son to spare me this torment. I can never blame the Christ that suffered and bled and died for me, but I hate him anyway. I cannot even control my feelings that I know to be wicked, wretched and vile. I am more wicked and vile now than I ever was in my earthly existence. Oh, If only I had listened.
Any earthly torment would be far better than this. To die a slow agonizing death from Cancer; To die in a burning building as the victims of the 9-11 terror attacks. Even to be nailed to a cross after being beaten unmercifully like the Son of God; But to choose these over my present state I have no power. I do not have that choice.
I now understand that this torment and suffering is what Jesus Bore for me. I believe that he suffered, bled and died to pay for my sins, but his suffering was not eternal. After three days he arose in victory over the grave. Oh, I do SO believe, but alas, it is too late. As the old invitation song says that I remember hearing so many times, I am “One Day Too Late”.
We are ALL believers in this terrible place, but our faith amounts to NOTHING. It is too late. The door is shut. The tree has fallen, and here shall it lay. In HELL. Forever lost. No Hope, No Comfort, No Peace, No Joy.
There will never be any end to my suffering. I remember that old preacher as he would read “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: And they have no rest day nor night”
And that is perhaps the worst thing about this terrible place. I REMEMBER. I remember the church services. I remember the invitations. I always thought they were so corny, so stupid, so useless. It seemed I was too “tough” for such things. I see it all different now, Mom, but my change of heart matters nothing at this point.
I have lived like a fool, I pretended like a fool, I died like a fool, and now I must suffer the torments and anguish of a fool.
Oh, Mom, how I miss so very much the comforts of home. Never again will I know your tender caress across my fevered brow. No more warm breakfasts or home-cooked meals. Never again will I feel the warmth of the fireplace on a frosty winter’s night. Now the fire engulfs not only this perishing body wracked with pain beyond compare, but the fire of the wrath of an Almighty God consumes my very inner being with an anguish that cannot be properly described in any mortal language.
I long to just stroll through a lush green meadow in the springtime and view the beautiful flowers, stopping to take in the fragrance of their sweet perfume. Instead I am resigned to the burning smell of brimstone, sulfur, and a heat so intense that all other senses simply fail me.
Oh, Mom, as a teenager I always hated having to listen to the fussing and whining of the little babies in church, and even at our house. I thought they were such an inconvenience to me, such an irritation. How I long just to see for a brief moment one of those innocent little faces. But there are no babies in Hell, Mom.
There are no Bibles in Hell, dearest mother. The only scriptures inside the charred walls of the damned are those that ring in my ears hour after hour, moment after miserable moment. They offer no comfort at all, though, and only serve to remind me of what a fool I have been.
Were it not for the futility of them Mom, you might otherwise rejoice to know that there is a never ending prayer meeting here in Hell. No matter, there is no Holy Spirit to intercede on our behalf. The prayers are so empty, so dead. They amount to nothing more than cries for mercy that we all know will never be answered.
Please warn my brothers Mom. I was the eldest, and thought I had to be “cool”. Please tell them that no one in Hell is cool. Please warn all my friends, even my enemies, lest they come also to this place of torment.
As terrible as this place is, Mom, I see that it is not my final destination. As Satan laughs at all of us here, and as multitudes join us continually in this feast of misery, we are constantly reminded that some day in the future, we will all be summoned individually to appear before The Judgment Throne of Almighty God.
God will show us our eternal fate written in the books next to all of our wicked works. We will have no defense, no excuse, and nothing to say except to confess the justice of our damnation before the supreme judge of all the earth. Just before being cast into our final destination of torment, the Lake of Fire, we will have to look upon the face of him who willingly suffered the torments of hell that we might be delivered from them. As we stand there in his holy presence to hear the pronouncement of our damnation, you will be there Mom to see it all.
Please forgive me for hanging my head in shame, as I know I will not be able to bear to look upon your face. You will already be conformed into the image of the Savior, and I know it will be more than I can stand.
I would love to leave this place and join you and so many others I have known for my few short years on earth. But I know that will never be possible. Since I know I can never escape the torments of the damned, I say with tears, with a sorrow and deep despair that can never be completely described, I never want to see any of you again. Please don’t ever join me here.

A Love Letter From Jesus
***
The night before My death, you were on my mind. How I desired to have a relationship with you, to spend eternity with you in heaven. Yet, sin separated you from Me and My Father. A sacrifice of innocent blood was needed for the payment of your sins.
The hour had come when I was to lay down my life for you. With heaviness of heart I went out to the garden to pray. In agony of soul I sweat, as it were, drops of blood as I cried out to God… “…O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” ~ Matthew 26:39
While I was in the garden the soldiers came to arrest Me even though I was innocent of any crime. They brought Me before Pilate’s hall. I stood before My accusers. Then Pilate took Me and scourged Me. Lacerations cut deeply into My back as I took the beating for you. Then the soldiers stripped me, and put a scarlet robe on Me. They platted a crown of thorns upon My head. Blood flowed down My face… there was no beauty that you should desire Me.
Then the soldiers mocked Me, saying, ” Hail, King of the Jews! They brought Me before the cheering crowd, shouting, “Crucify Him. Crucify Him.” I stood there silently, bloody, bruised and beaten. Wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquities. Despised and rejected of men.
Pilate sought to release Me but gave in to the pressure of the crowd. “Take ye Him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.” he said to them. Then he delivered Me to be crucified.
You were on my mind when I carried My cross up the lonesome hill to Golgotha. I fell beneath its weight. It was my love for you, and to do My Father’s will that gave Me the strength to bear beneath its heavy load. There, I bore your griefs and I carried your sorrows laying down My life for the sin of mankind.
The soldiers sneered giving heavy blows of the hammer driving the nails deeply into My hands and feet. Love nailed your sins to the cross, never to be dealt with again. They hoisted Me up and left Me to die. Yet, they did not take My life. I willingly gave it.
The sky grew black. Even the sun stopped shining. My body wracked with excruciating pain took the weight of your sin and bore it’s punishment so that the wrath of God could be satisfied.
When all things were accomplished. I committed My spirit into My Father’s hands, and breathed out My final words,”It is finished.” I bowed my head and gave up the ghost.
I Love you… Jesus.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” ~ John 15:13
Dear soul,
Do you have the assurance that when you die you will be in the presence of the Lord in heaven? Death for a believer is but a doorway that open up into eternal life.

An Invitation to Accept Christ
Today the road may have seemed steep, and you feel alone. Someone you trust has disappointed you. God sees your tears. He feels your pain. He longs to comfort you, for He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
God loves you so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die in your place. He will forgive you for every sin you have committed, if you are willing to leave your sins and turn from them.
Maybe you feel, “He won’t forgive my sins for they are too great. You don’t know the sins I’ve committed, I strayed too far from His love.”
I understand your thoughts, dear soul. I, too, felt unworthy and undeserving of His love. I stood at the foot of the cross pleading for mercy, but such is the grace of our God.
The Scripture says, “…I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” ~ Mark 2:17b
Soul, that includes you and me.
No matter how far into the pit you have fallen, God’s grace is greater still. The dirty despondent souls, He came to save. He’ll reach down His hand to hold yours.
With your heart bowed, say to the Lord:
“I am a sinner. I’ve been a sinner all of my life. Forgive me, Lord.”
Maybe you are like that fallen sinner. She came to Jesus, knowing He was the One who could save her. With tears streaming down her face, she began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with her hair. He said, “Her sins, which are many, are forgiven…” Soul, can He say that of you tonight?
You may have tears streaming down your face as you relate to her. Maybe you’ve looked at pornography and you feel ashamed, or you’ve committed adultery and you want to be forgiven. “Cast me not away from Thy presence. Forgive me for the evil I have done.” You’re as guilty as she was, but the same Jesus who’s forgiven her will also forgive you tonight.
One day you will stand before the Lord, transparent in His presence. The books of your life will be open to be judged. Every thought… every word… every motive of your heart will be revealed in His illuminating light. What shall you say in His presence? Say to the Lord: “I’ve made a mess out of my life, I want to be forgiven.” God sees your heart, dear soul. Sure, you made wrong choices, but He still loves you!
Maybe you thought about giving your life to Christ, but put it off for one reason or another. “To Save & Exit day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” ~ Hebrews 4:7b
The Scripture says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” ~ Romans 3:23
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ~ Romans 10:9

Faith and Evidence
Surely the answer can be found through the study of these things all around that amaze and mystify us. The answer had to be in the most minute part of every creature and thing. The atom! The essence of life must be found there. It wasn’t. It wasn’t found in the nuclear material or in the electrons spinning around it. It wasn’t in the empty space that makes up most of everything we can touch and see.
All these thousands of years of looking and no one has found the essence of life inside the common things around us. I knew there must be a force, a power, that was doing all this around me. Was it God? Okay, why doesn’t He just reveal Himself to me? Why not? If this force is a living God why all the mystery? Wouldn’t it be more logical for Him to say, Okay, here I am. I did all this. Now go about your business.”
Not until I met a special woman who I reluctentantly went to a Bible study with did I start to understand any of this. The people there were studying the Scriptures and I thought they must be searching for the same thing I was, but just haven’t found it yet. The leader of the group read a passage from the Bible written by a man who used to hate Christians but was changed. Changed in an amazing way. His name was Paul and he wrote,
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” ~ Ephesians 2:8-9
Those words “grace” and “faith” fascinated me. What did they really mean? Later that night she asked me to go see a movie, of course she tricked me into going to a Christian movie. At the end of the show there was a short message by Billy Graham. Here he was, a farm boy from North Carolina, explaining to me the very thing that I had been struggling with all along. He said, “You can’t explain God scientifically, philosophically, or in any other intellectual way. “You simply have to believe God is real.
You have to have faith that what He said He did as it is written in the Bible. That He created the heavens and the earth, that He created the plants and animals, that He spoke all this into existence as it is written in the book of Genesis in the Bible. That He breathed life into a lifeless form and it became man. That He wanted to have a closer relationship with the people He created so He took on the form of a man who was God’s Son and came to the earth and lived among us. This Man, Jesus, paid the debt of sin for those who will believe by being crucified on the cross.
How could it be so simple? Just believe? Have faith that all this was the truth? I went home that night and got little sleep. I struggled with the issue of God giving me grace – through faith to believe. That He was that force, that essence of life and creation of all that ever was and is. Then He came to me. I knew that I simply had to believe. It was by God’s grace that He showed me His love. That He was the answer and that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for me so that I could believe. That I could have a relationship with Him. He revealed Himself to me in that moment.
I called her to tell her that I now understand. That now I believe and want to give my life to Christ. She told me that she prayed that I would not sleep until I took that leap of faith and believed in God. My life was changed forever. Yes, forever, because now I can look forward to spending eternity in a wonderful place called heaven.
No longer do I concern myself with needing evidence to prove that Jesus could actually walk on water, or that the Red Sea could have parted to allow the Israelites to pass through, or any of the dozen other seemingly impossible events written in the Bible.
God has proven Himself over and over in my life. He can reveal Himself to you also. If you find yourself seeking proof of His existence ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Take that leap of faith as a child, and truly believe in Him. Open yourself up to His love by faith, not evidence.
Dear soul,
Do you have the assurance that when you die you will be in the presence of the Lord in heaven? Death for a believer is but a doorway that open up into eternal life.
Those who fall asleep in Jesus shall be reunited with their loved ones in heaven. Those you’ve laid in the grave in tears, you shall meet them again with joy! Oh, to see their smile and feel their touch… never to part again!
Yet, if you don’t believe in the Lord, you’re going to hell. There is no pleasant way to say it.
The Scripture says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” ~ Romans 3:23
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ~ Romans 10:9
Don’t fall asleep without Jesus until you are assured of a place in heaven.
Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life, first you must believe in the Lord. You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven and put your trust in the Lord. To be a believer in the Lord, ask for eternal life. There’s only one way to heaven, and that’s through the Lord Jesus. That’s God’s wonderful plan of salvation.
You can begin a personal relationship with Him by praying from your heart a prayer such as the following.
“Oh God, I’m a sinner. I’ve been a sinner all of my life. Forgive me, Lord. I receive Jesus as my Savior. I trust Him as my Lord. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
If you have never received the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, but have received Him today after reading this invitation, please let us know. We would love to hear from you.
Heaven - Our Eternal Home
The Lord has planned the new earth to be far more beautiful, beyond our imagination. “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard neither entered in to the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them.”
“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing… ~ Isaiah 35:1-2
“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.” ~ Isaiah 35:5-6
“And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” ~ Isaiah 35:10
What shall we say in His presence? Oh, the tears that shall flow when we behold His nail scarred hands and feet! The uncertainties of life shall be made known to us, when we see our Savior face to face.
Most of all we shall see Him! We shall behold His glory! He shall shine as the sun in pure radiance, as He welcomes us home in glory.
We shall be His bride, taken away to a better place. Our relationship shall be pure and wholesome, listening to every word that flows from His lips when we shall be together in glory.
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:8
“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ~ Revelation 21:2
…”And he will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.” ~ Revelation 21:3b
“And they shall see His face…” “…and they shall reign forever and ever.” ~ Revelation 22:4a&5b
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” ~ Revelation 21:4

Our Relationships In Heaven
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 4:13-14, 16-18
Many people wonder as they turn from the grave of their loved ones, “Will we know our loved ones in heaven”? “Will we see their face again”?
The Lord understands your grief. He carried our sorrows… For He wept at the grave of His dear friend Lazarus even though He knew He would raise him up within a few moments.
There He spoke comfort to His beloved friends.
“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” ~ John 11:25
Now, we sorrow for those who fall asleep in Jesus, but not as those who have no hope. For in the resurrection, God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. Our friendship is a lasting one. It continues on forever.
“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” ~ Matthew 22:3
Although our earthly marriage will not be sustained in heaven, our relationships will be pure and wholesome. For it is but a portrait that served its purpose until believers in Christ shall be married to the Lord.
“And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things shall be past away.” ~ Revelation 21:2

Overcoming the Addiction of Pornography
horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my goings.
Psalm 40:2
Dear Soul,
God loves you so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die for your sins. Sins are when you disobey God. Maybe you feel He won’t forgive your sins for they are too great, that you’ve strayed too far from His love.
The Scripture says,”…I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Mark 2:17b
Soul, that includes you and me.
No matter how far into the pit you have fallen, God’s grace is greater still. The dirty, despondent soul He came to save. He’ll reach down His hand to grasp yours.
God desires to have a personal relationship with you, and to spend eternity with you in heaven.
Dear soul,

The Dark Night of the Soul
Separation is sorrowful. Who of us haven’t grieved the loss of a loved one, nor felt its sorrow having wept in each other’s arms no longer to enjoy the loving friends and companions forever, to help us through the hardships of life?
Many are passing through the valley as you read this. You can relate, having lost a companion yourself and are now experiencing the heartache of separation, wondering how you will cope with the lonely hours ahead.
We feel the worthlessness of the loss in our hearts, when a loved one is taken from us.
Being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart… We are homesick for heaven and anticipate the reunion of our loved ones as we long for a better place.
The familiar was so comforting. It’s never easy to let go. For they are the crutches that have held us up, the places that have given us comfort, the visits that have given us joy. We hold on to what is precious till it’s taken from us often with deep anguish of soul.
Sometimes its sadness washes over us like ocean waves crashing over our soul. We shield ourselves from its pain, finding shelter under the wings of the Lord.
We’d lose ourselves in the valley of grief if it were not for the hand of our Shepherd to guide us through the long and lonely nights. In the dark night of the soul He is our Comforter, a Loving Presence who shares in our pain and in our suffering.
With each tear that falls, the sorrow nudges us homeward towards heaven, where no death, nor sorrow, nor tear shall fall. Weeping may last for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. He carries us in our moments of deepest pain.
Through teary eyes we anticipate our joyful reunion when we will be with our loved ones in the Lord.
At times the anguish of your soul will move you to tears, but take heart, we’re not home yet. The longing of your heart will only deepen your relationship with the Lord. That would not have been possible had you not walked through the valley of grief.
“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” ~ Matthew 5:4
May the Lord bless you and keep you all the days of your life, until you are in the presence of the Lord in heaven.
Dear soul,
Do you have the assurance that when you die you will be in the presence of the Lord in heaven? Death for a believer is but a doorway that open up into eternal life.

The Furnace of Suffering
***
The furnace of suffering! How it hurts and brings us pain. It is there that the Lord trains us for battle. It is there that we learn to pray.
It is there that God gets alone with us and reveals to us who we really are. It is there where He prunes away our comforts and burns away the sin in our lives.
It is there, in the furnace, that we drench our pillow with tears when in agony of soul we cry out to Him, “Oh Lord, if it be possible, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will but thine be done.”
It is there that He uses our failures to prepare us for His work. It is there, in the furnace, when we have nothing to offer, when we have no song in the night.
It is there that we feel like our life is over when every thing we enjoy is being taken away from us. It is then that we begin to realize that we are under the wings of the Lord. He will take care of us.
It is there that we often fail to recognize the hidden work of God in our most barren times. It is there, in the furnace, that no tear is wasted but fulfills His purposes in our lives.
It is there that He weaves the black thread into the tapestry of our life. It is there where He reveals that all things work together for good to those who love Him.
It is there that we get real with God, when all else is said and done. “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in him.” It is when we fall out of love with this life, and live in the light of eternity to come.
It is there that He reveals the depths of love that He has for us, ” For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” ~ Romans 8:18
It is there, in the furnace, that we realize ” For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” ~ 2 Corinthians 4:17
It is there that we fall in love with Jesus and appreciate the depth of our eternal home, knowing that the sufferings of our past won’t cause us pain, but would rather enhance His glory.
It is when we come out of the furnace that spring begins to blossom. After He reduces us to tears we offer liquefied prayers that touch the heart of God.
It is there that we shed tears of intercession that will not be forgotten by God. “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” ~ Psalm 126:6
“…but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope.” ~ Romans 5:3-4
Dear soul,
Do you have the assurance that when you die you will be in the presence of the Lord in heaven? Death for a believer is but a doorway that open up into eternal life.
Those who fall asleep in Jesus shall be reunited with their loved ones in heaven. Those you’ve laid in the grave in tears, you shall meet them again with joy! Oh, to see their smile and feel their touch… never to part again!

The Last Days
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nations shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” ~ Matthew 24:3b-8
“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ~ Matthew 24:11-14
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of man be.” ~ Matthew 24:36-39
” Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. “~ Matthew 24:44
Oh soul, are you ready? Are you prepared to meet the Lord at His coming? Unbelievers shall carry on their normal activities. They will not listen to His warnings. They will be swept away as in the days of Noah. The fire shall burn up the earth, and all that is therein.
The Lord shall come as a thief in the night. Not even the angels in heaven know the hour. The day of Salvation shall be closed forever. Many will be denied entrance for their names were not written in the book of life.
Oh soul, take heed to His solemn warning! Every day, on the news, its the same old stuff, another story. Wars and rumors of war. Earthquakes increasing in their frequency and intensity. The day of the Lord is drawing near. The gospel is being preached in remote places through the internet. The Lord is on the verge of His coming.
The signs of His approaching are gathering near. The Lord is going to burn up the earth. He shall make a new heaven and a new earth. The wicked shall be burned up, those who did not place their faith in the Lord.
The Scripture says, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in therat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” ~ Matthew 7:13-14

There Is Hope
Do you know who Jesus is? Jesus is your spiritual lifeguard. Confused? Well just read on.
You see, God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to forgive us of our sins and to save us from everlasting torture in a place called hell.
In hell, you are by yourself in total darkness screaming for your life. You are being burned alive for all eternity. Eternity lasts forever!
You smell sulfur in hell, and hear blood curdling screams of those who rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. On top of that, You’ll remember all the horrible things that you have ever done, all the people you have picked on. These memories are going to haunt you forever and ever! It is never going to stop. And you’ll wish that you paid attention to all the people who warned you about hell.
There is hope though. Hope that is found in Jesus Christ.
God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus to die for our sins. He was hung on a cross, mocked and beaten, a crown of thorns were thrown upon His head, paying for the sins of the world for those who will believe on Him.
He is preparing a place for them in a place called heaven, where no tears, sorrows or pain will inflict them. No worries or cares.
It’s a place so beautiful that it’s indescribable. If you would like to go to heaven and spend eternity with God, confess to God that you are a sinner deserving of hell and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.

What The Bible Says Happens After You Die
Every day thousands of people will take their final breath and slip into eternity, either into heaven or into hell. Although we may never know their names, the reality of death happens every day.
What happens the moment after you die?
The moment after you die, your soul temporarily departs from your body to await the Resurrection.
Those who place their faith in Christ will be carried by the angels into the presence of the Lord. They are now comforted. Absent from the body and present with the Lord.
Meanwhile, unbelievers await in Hades for the final Judgment.
“And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments… And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.” ~ Luke 16:23a-24
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” ~ Ecclesiastes 12:7
Although, we grieve over the loss of our loved ones, we sorrow, but not as those who have no hope.
“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:14, 17-18
While the unbeliever’s body remains resting, who can fathom the torments he is experiencing?! His spirit screams! “Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming…” ~ Isaiah 14:9a
Unprepared is he to meet God!
Although he cries in his torment, his prayer offers no comfort whatsoever, for a great gulf is fixed where no one can pass to the other side. Alone he is left in his misery. Alone in his memories. The flame of hope forever extinguished of seeing his loved ones again.
On the contrary, precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Escorted by the angels into the presence of the Lord, they are now comforted. Their trials and suffering are past. Although their presence will be deeply missed, they have hope of seeing their loved ones again.
Dear soul,
Do you have the assurance that when you die you will be in the presence of the Lord in heaven? Death for a believer is but a doorway that open up into eternal life.

“Oh God, I’m a sinner. I’ve been a sinner all of my life. Forgive me, Lord. I receive Jesus as my Savior. I trust Him as my Lord. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
If you have never received the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, but have received Him today after reading this invitation, please let us know. We would love to hear from you.
Will We Know Eachother In Heaven?
or mourned their loss with so many questions unanswered? Will we know our loved ones in heaven? Will we see their face again?
Death is sorrowful with its separation, it’s hard for those that we leave behind. Those who love much often grieve deeply, feeling the heartache of their empty chair.
Yet, we sorrow for those who fall asleep in Jesus, but not as those who have no hope. The Scriptures are woven with the comfort that not only will we know our loved ones in heaven, but we will be together with them also.
Although we grieve the loss of our loved ones, we’ll have eternity to be with those in the Lord. The familiar sound of their voice will call out your name. So shall we ever be with the Lord.
What about our loved ones who may have died without Jesus? Will you see their face again? Who knows that they haven’t trusted Jesus in their last moments? We may never know this side of heaven.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. ~ Romans 8:18
“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
Dear soul,
Do you have the assurance that when you die you will be in the presence of the Lord in heaven? Death for a believer is but a doorway that open up into eternal life.
Those who fall asleep in Jesus shall be reunited with their loved ones in heaven. Those you’ve laid in the grave in tears, you shall meet them again with joy! Oh, to see their smile and feel their touch… never to part again!
Yet, if you don’t believe in the Lord, you’re going to hell. There is no pleasant way to say it.
The Scripture says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” ~ Romans 3:23
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ~ Romans 10:9
Don’t fall asleep without Jesus until you are assured of a place in heaven.
Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life, first you must believe in the Lord. You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven and put your trust in the Lord.
