God can do ANYTHING! He has taught me that through so many examples this semester. I just know and have faith that He will and does great and mighty things. On Friday a boy I went to school with was buried. Well his body was buried. His soul, however, was rejoicing in Heaven. In high school you would not know he had a relationship with the Lord, but when he entered the Marines his life changed. Is name was Thomas Rivers. He died in Afghanistan. He volunteered to go out for a friend, and that cost him his life. He was killed doing the thing he knew he was meant for. I love that he was able to do what he loved. He also laid down his life for his friend and country. I am so thankful for that. One of the things that has striked me the most is that God is such a God of second chances. You are never to far gone for the Father. He always takes us back in, or opens the door when we knock- always! He accepts anyone, and I am so proud that I can say I have a God that does that. The Lord is already using Thomas' death for amazing things. The name of the Lord me praised. I was dancing the other day just because of the things I am hearing about Him doing- gosh so exciting! Such a blessing!
In the end there is silence in the radiance of heaven. What must that be like? What must that feel? There is no wonder in all the creation that can describe the things prepared for the ones chosen. The sea of glass, the throne of the LORD. What must that look like? Precious Lord come show us your glory. Bring quickly your love. Bring your power with mercy. Bring weakness so we rely on your strength complete. Reveal to us to live by grace, with mercy, to know that it is unearned. To know that only by your power that I am redeemed. Lord Jesus show me your spirit, and your great power. May I see your light, and your amazing power. Bring your strength to your warriors, and knowledge to your children.
