“So this past weekend I attended my nieces wedding..and it was so beautiful..she made a lovely bride..and all the while on my drive back home yesterday I kept thinking about the Lord and how He told us that He goes away to prepare a place for us..and that He is going to come again to receive us unto Him that where He is as well we will be..Amen..and of course we all know that this beautiful place that the Lord is preparing is heaven..and I can only imagine how beautiful and how wonderful this place shall be..all the preparation that He is putting into this place..Amen..I do know that John said in the book of revelation that he saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven..prepared for a bride adorned for her husband..and God himself will be with them..and He shall be their God and that He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes..and there will be no more death..no more sorrows..no more crying..neither shall there be any more pain..for the former things will all be passed away..Revelation 21:1-5..Amen..and it goes even further in that same chapter of Revelation as too where it starts giving us a glimpse of what it shall look like..Amen..it shall have twelve gates and three on every side..it will have streets of gold..gates of pearl..all sorts of every type of jewel we can imagine..Amen..has no need for the sun or the moon to shine in it..for the glory of God gives the light..Amen..it says that only the names that have been written in the Lambs book of life shall enter into the city..for it says that nothing unclean shall enter into the city of God..Revelation 21:15-27..Amen!”

“So this morning I must ask are you excited about this wedding?..this great and most amazing day that God comes and calls us away to be with Him forever and ever for all eternity in this place that He has prepared..because I must say that I am ever so excited about heaven..and seeing my loved ones that are already there..Amen..because there is no place that we’ve ever been that could compare..no eye has seen..no ear has heard what God has prepared for them that love Him..1 Corinthians 2:9..Amen..and at times we do lose sight of it all..the goal and the purpose that we have while here..because we live here in this world..but we are told to keep our focus..run our race..Hebrews 12:1-2..and live for Jesus..and we do this day in and day out..doing the best we can..we are to stay washed, clean and holy..before our Maker..because He is holy we as well should be holy..1 Peter 1:16..Amen..keeping ourselves always adorned and ready for the Lord if by chance He were to come today and call us all away..are we ready?..are we able to stand unashamed before Him in all of His majesty?..I do pray we all keep ourselves before the Lord with our robes white..knowing that this could be the day that our Maker calls us away..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
