Never Be Destroyed

Daniel 7:14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him.  His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. What a powerful way to finish this week!  The eternity that is to come is something that I cannot even begin to understand.  I try to grasp a little glimpse of the glory we will experience when Jesus' Kingdom comes into fruition when the enemy is eradicated, but my mind is limited and finite.  My soul longs for the day when it will be set free from the calamity of this earthly body.  However, there is freedom to be had on this earth too. That is what is so amazing about walking in Jesus.  We get to experience the resurrection here and now!  But just as Paul says, it is only a dim reflection.  Oh, to see Jesus face to face! This is what my souls longs for and where my hope is found.  I will fix my eyes on Jesus and eternity with Him.

This verse just makes me want to shout, "AMEN!"  But isn't it frustrating how Satan knows exactly where to hit us to make us doubt?  And then he is so good at kicking us while we are down.  I, unfortunately, had this experience very recently.  I was feeling a little worried about a particular situation and then Satan pounced and made me feel like an enormous loser.  He was feeding me lies that he knew I would believe, because they are the same lies I always fall for.  Thankfully, I was able to spend some time with God in quiet solitude.  I was reminded that no matter what Satan throws at me, I will never be separated from the love of God because I have Christ Jesus...

Mercy and Compassion

Jude 22-23 Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. This is something I have struggles with, loving those who frustrate me.  How can we be merciful to those who are "corrupt" without being judgmental?  It is definitely not our place to judge one another, it is our place to love one another.  Sometimes loving the people who are rude or cruel is the hardest part of being a Christian.  My humanity would like to judge people for their behaviors and choices and lash out at them.  I believe we are only able to show true mercy and compassion for others when we accept these for ourselves from Jesus and then He lives them through us.  Allowing God to change our hearts in order that Jesus' mercy and compassion shine through is a journey.  It's not always easy.  On those difficult days, I remain quiet and ask God to love on me, so I...
