I very much appreciated reading your post on how you are feeling especially in light your earthly life that seems free from marital struggles, financial problems, emotional and physical pain! Praise the Lord Jesus for such freedom!!  And yet, like the rest of us here, we know we are aliens, foreigners.  We are Not of this world.  In it but not of it.

We were -chosen- before the foundation of the world.  Our Creator knew us before we were formed in our mothers' womb.

So we are here on a mission. Our mission is almost over.  I never thought I would grow weary but I am.  I and all of us here must feel like Paul.  We have run the race with endurance.  We have fought the good fight.

I will say a little more on this when I respond to Robert Bellinger's post on the crowns.

Time to wrap it up.  I pray this is Gpd's perfect Will that the time is now.

Come Lord Jesus.  The Spirit and the Bride say "Come".
