VISION

Hello Dwight

 I could not get into the book myself because the style barred me so I am grateful that you have presented the story! It is beautiful and very well captured.

Matt  24 : 12,13  And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity. 13. But he who endures to the end, will be saved.

Who are they who endure?

Hebrews 9 : 28 ….those who are eagerly, constantly, and patiently waiting for and expecting HIM. 8)

Zechariah 9:12 Return to the stronghold of security and prosperity you prisoners of hope, even today do I declare that I will restore double your former prosperity to you.

I had not seen Dwight that through the valley of the shadow of death, faith and love could be lost and that it is Hope that sustains us. Even Paul exhorted the Galations 3:1 O you poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senseless Galations! Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom - right before your very eyes - Jesus Christ was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed as crucified?2. Let me ask you this one question; Did you receive the Spirit as the result of obeying the Law and doing its works or was it by hearing the message of the Gospel and believing it? Was it from observing a law of rituals.......

Yes Dwight I agree, many are the temptations, distractions and side streets that would lead us to forgetfulness of Christ and the Hope we have in Him. We can depend for nothing of ourselves but His Faith and Faithfulness secures our HOPE. To become Hopeless is to be one who has lost the vision!

That is so liberating to know what to hold on to when love that endures forever leaves us to our test in faith and when faith disappears because we realise we are nothing without HIM then Hope is the hand or rescue through that dreadful valley of the shadow of death that we endure through hope in HIM alone. Hope in HIM is our help when our faith fails and we see the love of the great body of people grow cold. When we feel small, alone and outside the world….our hope in Christ will help us endure together with our Ephesians 6 armour…..

Thank you for sharing that Dwight. It really spoke to me.

Peace to you
