OUR JOYOUS FOREVER! – Luke 18:43a Devotional by Pastor Cecil A. Thompson

https://DailyEvotional.com/ -- Luke 18:43a

“Immediately he received his sight and followed Christ with great joy.”

The modern day media seems to delight more in the gory details of the news than in the bits of good news that can be found. Perhaps it is because it is harder to find, but more likely is that it will not be popular with the viewers.

Many of us have experienced the loss of loved ones and friends. I personally have encountered the valley of the shadow of death in the passing of my parents, my precious wife, my two and daughters, my brother, as well as many other friends and family members.

In this life we are certain to encounter losses. What we hold on so tightly today can be lost in a moment of time. To believe that things will remain the same as they are today is to deceive ourselves.

The things of this world pass quickly, but the Bible gives us the assurance that those dear ones who knew the Lord on this earth are not lost, but have only entered into the paradise of God where there will never be any loss. I am encouraged by the assurance that we will see them again, and then it will be forever!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
