Gaining Future Rewards
I can remember running nearly 20 full marathons. Each had its own challenges and joys. And each had wonderful rewards waiting for me at the end. Sherry would be there, and I knew she would take me home to a big dinner, a hot bath, and maybe even a foot rub! That hope gave me the endurance to finish each race strong. What does the Bible say about future rewards for the good, loving deeds that we do in this life? A great deal!
Being FREE in Christ, we can love ANYONE with God’s love.
God is good ALWAYS AND IN ALL WAYS!

Rise Up O Blessed Children
“Let not your heart be troubled,”His words ring in my ear,
And finding peace in Jesus,
I lose all doubt and fear.
My shepherd and my Savior,
My brother, Lord, and friend,
I trust my life to Jesus.
He’s faithful to the end.
Here is a new hymn for a new day to rejoice in.
O sing my heart within me,
Let loose a song of love,
Rejoice in all before thee,
His boundless life of love.
O may our hearts before Him,
In thankfulness resound.
That every voice now present
In His sweet grace be found.
O sing with joyful gladness,
For now the price is paid.
Sin’s cruel reign is over,
And life from death remains.
Yet, ever Satan’s forces
Persist unyieldingly,
And tho’ our foe is vanquished,
He mocks Christ’s saving tree.
So what is our endeavor,
When faced with worldly hate?
Christ’s love will ever conquer,
A victory so great!
Forgive as we’re forgiven,
And speak the truth in love.
Keep every thought committed,
For Christ’s strength is enough.
And now on hallowed footsteps,
We live this life of grace,
With mercy and love’s kindness,
Undaunted, challenges face.
What hope gives us endurance,
To quench each fiery dart?
‘Tis Christ’s own spirit in us,
His words within our heart.
So now we look unto him,
And to that glorious day.
With spiritual bodies clothed,
No sorrow, tears remain.
O sing my heart within me,
Let loose a song of love,
Rejoice in all before thee,
This endless life of love.
[Sung to the tune of “O Sacred Head Now Wounded”]
Seven Devils. How they had plagued her. Seven months with the Master. How he had healed her. And now he was gone. The tears kept falling. She just stood there, outside the tomb that had held her dearest Rabbi and friend. What was she to do? She had seen him crucified with her very eyes. She stood with his grieving mother as he said “It is finished.” Yes, it all seemed over now.
One of the great challenges of marriage is to become “one flesh” as God promises we can.
Genesis 2:24:
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
