Gone to heaven

Gone to heaven

I have been to the valley of endless pain

Upon me a cold breeze and rain
The heart hurts to the core
It grumbles and aches until it roars
Tears flow down my face
And hope is gone without a trace
It was then that You found me
Opened my eyes to see
“Come quickly out of here
This is no place for my dear
Rest here now in this place
Where there is peace and grace”
Oh this joy it chases away my tears
Gone is pain, sickness and fears
Could this be where Angels Fly?
Finally in the sweet by and by

Heaven Bound

Homeless

Posted on January 8, 2014 by Mr. Melendez

Out In the cold I find my place

Out in the cold no one need see my face
To the bone it is a bitter pain
At least today there is no rain
This thin home will do
Here alone to die the days are few
Passerby do not look
Passerby I am forsook
Soon enough God will receive me
Soon enough with Him I’ll be
Come now son, Warm by my side
Come now son, no more reason to hide
Oh , now Lord I forget the past
Oh, now Lord in your arms at last

Heaven bound!

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Often we get caught up in life’s struggles. We really have no choice but to address what is happening in our lives and in the world. We must hold ourselves responsible. We are living in this world, citizens of this country and citizens of a heavenly kingdom. Therefore we are responsible for our fellow man. We cannot take Cain’s attitude and say, “Am I my brother’s keeper”? (Genesis 4:9)The answer is yes.

Jesus made us responsible when he commanded us to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the imprisoned.(Matthew 25:31-46) He also holds us responsible when he says “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19)

Therefore we are allowed to get “caught up” in the world’s problems and challenges from time to time. However as Christians we have a secret weapon. We have a hope that keeps us from just losing it when the whole world seems to have gone crazy. We know some day we are going home.

We are going where there will be no more tears, no death and no pain. (Revelation 21:4) We will live in a city whose beauty will surpass anything we have ever seen. (Revelation 21:18 ) All the problems of this world will not enter and we will be with God for all eternity. (Revelation 22:1-5)

Jesus instructs us not to worry for we have a secure place in heaven. A place built for us. (John 14:1-3) Soon enough we will be reunited with him. This is why we are told to build our treasures in heaven “where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.” (Matthew 6:19-21) We do this by living our lives submitted to the commandments of Jesus.

There is plenty going on in our lives and in the world to rightfully fill us with grief. We should remain active in the world doing all we can to make it better. However when those moments come that nothing seems to be working it is wise to remember, we will be going to a better place. Soon enough we will be in paradise with our Lord. We will not take this attitude to give up, but only to encourage ourselves to soldier on!
