IF I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND CAN FATHOM ALL MYSTERIES AND ALL KNOWLEDGE, AND IF I HAVE A FAITH THAT CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING." ( 1 CORINTHIANS 13:2 *NIV )
Dear Charles, The Apostle Paul wrote these words almost 2,000 years ago, and they still apply to God's Children today! For it is written: GOD IS LOVE. WHOEVER LIVES IN LOVE LIVES IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM." ( 1 JOHN 4:16 )`
When we live a life filled with love for each other we become filled with the fruit of the Spirit! And "THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF-CONTROL." (GALATIANS 5:22) It is then that the emptiness we had within disappears, for it is then that GOD is in us, and we are in HIM!
So "I PRAY THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND ESTABLISHED IN LOVE, MAY HAVE POWER, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SAINTS, TO GRASP HOW WIDE AND LONG HIGH AND DEEP IS THE LOVE OF CHRIST, AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE --THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL FULLNESS OF GOD." ( EPHESIANS 3:17-20 )
My Dear Friend, have a tremendous day knowing that God Loves You, and is always there with you as well!

"MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME. AND I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH; NEITHER SHALL ANYONE SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND." ( JOHN 10:27-28 *NKJV )
Dear Charles, Just as a shepherd will protect his sheep, Jesus will protect us from eternal harm. Even though we may suffer here on Earth from the devil's temptations, satan cannot harm our souls or take away our eternal life with God in Heaven.
While there are many reasons to be fearful here on this Earth, "BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR." ( 1 PETER 5:8 ) It is through Jesus that we are given eternal safety. For: THIS IS THE TESTIMONY: THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. HE WHO HAS THE SON HAS LIFE; HE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE SON OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE LIFE. ( 1 JOHN 5:11-12 )
So Charles, no matter what you may go through in this life, remember that you have a much better life waiting for you when God is ready to call you home. A life filled with Peace, Love and Joy. SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE HAS PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL HAS PUT ON IMMORTALITY, THEN SHALL BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN: DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. ( 1 CORINTHIANS 15:54 )
NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM STUMBLING, AND TO PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY WITH EXCEEDING JOY, TO GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO ALONE IS WISE, BE GLORY AND MAJESTY, DOMINION AND POWER, BOTH NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN ( JUDE 24-25 )
