Hope Of The World

In the midst of growing darkness, and in recognition of our readers who are embedded in locations of great persecution - I felt strongly compelled to post this song. I believe it must be intended to reach someone today - I have no idea who or why, but whoever this is intended for, I hope it gives you strength and courage in the realization of who is really in control of things.

Maranatha brother or sister - it won't be long now. Cling to the hope that Christ Jesus has given us. I believe we need to be uplifted in the promises of Jesus and the lyrics offered below may do the trick as we contemplate the majesty and glory of our Lord and Savior - Jesus - I pray that this will uplift those who need a boost today. God Bless you brothers and sisters, with whom I will spend eternity. Personally, I'm ready to get this party started and leave this cesspool called earth. Who's in?

The second two (now three....sorry, I couldn't resist:) are on me:

Below is today's parting scripture to contemplate, especially for those facing daily, intense persecution - we're all praying for you brothers and sisters. We will see you soon:

Matthew 5: 

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, ² and he began to teach them.

He said:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.


¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
