Forgiveness is the aroma of the orchid
left upon the heel of the one who has crushed it.
For the Bible tells me so,
Little ones to Him belong,
We are weak but He is strong.
A little known verse of this old hymn goes like this...
Jesus loves me loves me still,
Though I'm very weak and ill,
If I love Him when I die,
He will take me home on high.
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
This morning my 98 year old Granny is laying in a hospital bed in Arlington Texas. She is so very weak and ill. She is in very good hands there because the nurses are wonderful. Granny particularly likes one.
When Rachel comes into the room and Granny hears hers voice, she opens her eyes and smiles so brightly at her. While Granny is in good hands here on earth, ultimately the same question remains true for all of us.

If I love Him when I die...
Do you love Him today? You never know when your last breath here on earth will be the one that takes you into eternity. Very young, very old, or somewhere in between, have you found that empty place in your heart that leads to your knees? If not, take a moment today to humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, confess you have missed the mark, ask Him to forgive you, and now live your life for Him.
Though my Granny is very weak and ill, because she found that place in her heart not too many years ago, she's ever in her Heavenly Father's loving Hands, safe and secure.
Now she loves Him, loves Him still,
Though she's very weak and ill,
Since she will love when she dies,
He is going to take her Home on high!
Romans 10:9-13
"...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whosoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him."
This is the day the LORD has made,
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Today would have been my Mama's 81st birthday. I used to tease her and say, "Hey Mom, now remind me again, which one did you used babysit for, was it George Washington or Abraham Lincoln?"
