Calm after the storm...
Ever since my grandma fell sick, I've been praying to God that if she can't go to heaven is she departs now (as in, during the time when I prayed), don't bring her home but restore her health. If she's going to heaven, then by al means. Well, what made me pray this kind of prayer? I guess it's 'Heaven Is So Real' because disobedient & sinful Christians cannot enter heaven but would be banished near heaven, all the valleys. I think this is worse than living in hell? Because you thought you'd be in heaven because of salvation? NO. The Bible says in Luke 23-25: 'He (Jesus) said to them, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' "But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.''
So I was pleading God over & over again. Finally, my grandma passed away on 12th August, 1:45am. She's been listening to 'Heaven Is So Real' before that. I thank God for it, bringing peace to me & my family. God also told me that yes, grandma's with Him in heaven when He revealed Psalm 23:6b to me: 'and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.'
Just this verse, powerful & assuring! I really feel great for grandma & myself, & my family. I thank God for revealing this to me, to bring me such great assurance, that I could be a comforter to my family. I praise God for everything He do!!!! I love you LORD!!!!
On 11:41 am, Cheryl lays it all at the feet of Jesus.
