Hope

I ran across this today. It was something I wrote when a friend of mine died of cancer last year. It gave me a new sense of hope and reminded me of what truly matters. Maybe it will encourage you too.

Oh, the beauty of angels singing. Their constant praise of salvations and homecomings ring like silver bells throughout the universe. Stop and listen, their shouts of “hosanna” are ever ringing. Listen ever closely and you will hear the Conductor, leading the chorus and singing the loudest. Quiet! Listen, and you will hear His shouts of joy while He holds His lamb in His arms.

Listen, the angels are singing “hosanna,” as they welcome him home. Quiet! Listen. It’s the Conductor, singing and shouting with joy as He embraces His lamb in His arms.

"Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." Hebrews 13:20-21
