perseverance

I’m clinging to the promise, the reward of my last day, the sure foundation of my hope and the source of life within me. I am drawing closer each day to that great day when I will at last stand face to face with Jesus. May I live each moment in light of the glory of your face, each grace-filled hour as a fraction of the beauty I will see there, and each difficult, lonely day as the closest to hell I will ever be. Praise be to you Lord Jesus Christ for keeping me in your hand, for showing me more grace and mercy and justice and love than I could ever have imagined. May my life this week and always be a testament to your righteousness and your overwhelming compassion.
