@Not me I know just what you mean. May I answer your question with a resounding "No! NOTHING more wonderful and glorious."? (Also, sooo important to me... the joy of unsaved loved ones coming to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.)

But for ME (my life), I'd agree nothing tops that sacred, precious closeness with Him. His sweet fellowship and matchless presence!!!

And how I long to one day hear Him say, as in Matthew 25:21-

"His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

@turtletwo and @Not me

I love the fact this is our reason of existing. To glorify the Lord and to be with Jesus forever.

I totally agree there is nothing more wonderful and glorious than getting to know Jesus more and more on a one to one basis. How lovely that He does it that way. We each individually have His full attention permanently and will so do forever. Oh, to finally get Home and to see Him. See His face! Awesome.

I’ve concluded that the greatest help I can be to them, is to get as close to Christ as I possibly can. I’m sure you see and understand the thought, but to encourage do I write. 

Amen. To let Him shine through us (as vessels or clay pots.) To let the love of Christ flow out is the best way to reach them. I agree.

But if I may, I too have struggled with some I love, that don’t seem to know Christ, or aren’t established in Him much.... So I’ve struggled on what the proper stance should be??

Be blessed, as we give Him our all, Not me 

That is a great way of putting it, that to be the greatest help to loved ones, is to get as close to Christ as we possibly can. Then we will radiate His love. @Not me

I also pray to the Lord that they will come to know Him as their Lord and Savior and anything you want me to say or do, please tell me.

Trying to do things in our own strength, no matter how good the intentions are, could make things worse. We need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and allow the Lord to direct us on this.

@Not me :teeth_smile:That's right! Thanks for the lovely reminder. Again, this brought to mind a scripture and a hymn.

"Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister these things, which are reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you by the Holy ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels long to look into."

(1 Peter 1:12)

 

It seems the angels are fascinated by salvation. Yet it is something they can not comprehend since it was never offered to them. Only humans could be redeemed.

 

 

A Song Holy Angels Cannot Sing

 

Angels never knew the joy that is mine 

For the blood has never washed their sins away

Though they sing in heaven there will come a time

When silently they'll listen as I sing Amazing Grace

 

Chorus-

It's a song holy angels cannot sing

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound

It's a song holy angels cannot sing

I once was lost but now I’m found

 

Holy is the Lord the angels sing

Before the throne of God continually

For me to join their song it’ll be a natural thing 

They just won't know the words to Love Lifted Me

In your presence is fullness of joy. Peter calls it joy unspeakable and full of glory. No wonder David says this ONE thing have I desired of the Lord that I will seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
