PROMISE #177 - JUNE 26
Promise #177:
When you leave your body, you will be at home in My presence.
2 Corinthians 5:8 (WEB)
We are courageous, I say,
and are willing rather to be absent from the body,
and to be at home with the Lord.
I am so glad that Paul the Apostle made this declaration, which reveals a very special promise from God: to be absent from our body is to be present with the Lord! He promises never to leave us or forsake us in this world, and when it is time for us to leave this world, we will be with Him forever!
Hebrews 12:1 says that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us and are cheering us on in our race. One day, we will be joined with Jesus in eternal glory and will echo the same cheers that the great cloud of witnesses voices today.
Hallelujah, that death has lost its sting! Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ. When we are absent from our bodies, we will be at home in our Papa God's presence.
This promise brings me great comfort, especially when I think of my loved ones who have already gone on to be with the Lord. My prayer today is that everyone who reads this promise will find solace in knowing that all those who hope in Christ are granted the promise of eternal life.
