Rest In the Lord

Psalm 4:8                                                               Rest In the Lord

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety” (NIV).

If I can lie down and sleep, I am certainly at rest.  The Lord makes it possible for me to rest, to be in peace.

In a recent conversation with the Lord, He reminded me of the steadfastness of His love.  He told me that I cannot earn His love, but I can never lose it, either.  He gave it to me even before I was born, and it is mine as long as I live—and through eternity if I choose to accept it.  He told me to rest in the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  He also told me emphatically to tell others to do the same.  So, “This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.”  God’s Word to you is, “Rest in the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”  He also told me, “Do that and all else will follow.”  That was an intense and joyful conversation, one I will remember for a very long time.

God’s love is available to us from eternity past to eternity future.  It is vital that we accept His love, accept the sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary.  If we reject His love, then we have rejected Him and have rejected Jesus’ sacrifice.  If we do that, there is no way possible for us to live in His love after our physical death.  He will still love those who reject Him, but they will be separated from Him forever.  Please be sure to accept the love of God and the sacrifice of Jesus so that I will get to meet you on the streets of Heaven.  I look forward to rejoicing with you over the love of our God.
