Day 3 ....... I Am Thankful For The Blessed Hope In Jesus

That blessed hope in Jesus is what carries us through the rough times. I am sure that each one of you could make a list of lots of things in your life that have been dark, sad and lonely. Things that no one should have to go through. Things that happen because of sin. 

How do you get through those times? Do you get angry and curse at God and others and try to put the blame on someone else. While resentment and bitterness eat you up? Or maybe if you had just done one thing different, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did? So you carry guilt and un-forgiveness? If you had been a better mother, a better father, a better sister, a better brother, a better friend, a better daughter, a better son. This list could go on. 

Oh but Jesus died that we might live. He says that He has gone to prepare a place and if He has gone to prepare a place then He will come again to receive you unto Himself. 

 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 

John 14:1-3

Do You want to be ready when Jesus comes? I want to be. I want to know that when He comes in those clouds of glory that I hear Him say. " well done thou good and faithful servant well done. 

So today I am thankful for that blessed hope in Jesus. That he will come again. Will fly away with Him into the glorious Heavens above for all eternity.
