I have been in a relationship with Jesus Christ for nearly 47 years.  I will never forget the emptiness of the first 18 years of my life without Him.  Being IN Him is the essence of hope. His call upon me to become LIKE Him has been a challenge, with times of trial and struggle, but I have found that He’s worth it all. And soon, and very soon, I will see Him and be WITH Him for eternity and that will be joy unspeakable and full of glory!  What are you looking forward to?

Colossians 1:27

God willed to make known [to those who believe] what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Psalm 150:2

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. 

1 Peter 1:8-9

Though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

“To be IN Christ is the source of the Christian’s life; to be LIKE Christ is the sum of His excellence; to be WITH Christ is the fullness of His joy.” ~ Charles Hodge

The Lord bless you and keep you…
