"How close are we . . . "


Thinking on things above, OH, church we're about to be escorted to the Father. JESUS, ALTOGETHER OTHER, has placed eternity in our souls, in gifted wonder of our Glorified God, even to commune with our MAKER!!
 

. . . . the Spirit of God in the believer calls His Redeemed with everlasting joy in worship to Him.

, oh, God IS the Spirit indwelling, the Shikinah Glory, THE RESTORER of the Redeemed, a Heavenly FAMILY Maker of sons and daughters blessed in the Most High God . .

WHAT MAJESTY IS THIS, that our Father declares throughout Heaven, Adoption of the Redeemed His very Spirit indwelling, by the Grace of the Son, ever blessed by our One True God.

Oh, our Father sees the Spirit in us, kept in the Bosom of Christ and His Mighty Glory.

OH, may the fullness of our joy be realized, soon, at the Heavenly Gates of Paradise!!!

Remembering Jesus, saying 2,000 years ago, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I AM, THERE you may be also" .

Looking for that Heavenly City of Zion, the City made by God's Hands, oh, Jesus YOU ARE there!!

Come, Lord Jesus, oh Trusted One of given HOPE and Assurance kept in our Savior, Who is making jewels ready for Christ's crown.

Whatsoever is lovely, pure, good, righteous, holy, . . we desire to think on these things, Father . . for YOU ARE WORTHY, and are all splendor and Light emblazing all of Heaven . . oh, such Wonder!!!

. . . entrusting the Power of our Patient God, the Savior mightily still gathers in the saved.

Soon we shall see HIM AS HE IS, by the Abiding Spirit, we shall see Jesus smiling over His church He gave His LIFE for. OH, Lord, there, in Your presence, we shall hear Heavenly benediction to all who have entered in . .

oh, what a day, what gladness!!! the Restored submerged in overflowing joy. Each adopted of the Father, gazing at our Holy God, enveloped in the splendor of our Savior's Grace, in the Light of God's Love . . HALLELUIAH!!

. . Everlasting Risen Lord, the Word makes communion possible with God. Oh, we await Your Promise of a celebrated Marriage to Christ Himself!!! . .

Such contemplation, . . . .

. . . . . til then, we can only imagine . . .
