"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace..." Eph. 1:7
"Jesus came into our world, and shed the blood of His heart on the ground, that it might produce a crop of souls for the harvest of eternal glory! And without this, we could no more expect it—than wheat without seed or moisture. A part of this seed is already ripened and gathered into the granary of heaven, like a shock of ripened corn. Another part is still in this unfriendly climate suffering the extremities of winter, covered with snow, nipped with frost, languishing in drought, and trodden under foot! Such are you, the plants of righteousness, who now hear me. But you are ripening apace, and your harvest is just at hand!
Therefore, bear up under the severities of winter; for that coldness of heart, that drought for lack of divine influences, those storms of temptations, and those oppressions which now tread you down—will shortly be over!" Samuel Davies
Ahh what a wonderful thought, that of the ending of our affliction. The best part is that when we leave this world, the ending of our afflictions is not the best part, we get to be with Jesus for an eternity too! And that is worth all of our afflictions! I pray this comes to you in a time that you need to hear it and be reminded.
With love,
Jesse
