My pastor preached this morning, talking about how if we are overcomers* we will get to sit in Jesus' throne with him. It made me think back to when I was a little girl and I used to crawl into my father's lap. He'd wrap his arms around me and I knew there wasn't a place safer than where I was at at the moment, in my father's arms.
Jesus wraps his arms around us and keeps us safe from all things. Sure, when we venture into the world people and things are gonna hurt us, but its then that Jesus squeezes us closer to him and lets us know he has not let us go. God says that no man can pluck us out of his hands, and that "no man" includes ourselves. Thank God for that! Once God has us, once we admit we're sinners and that we need God and want God to come into our lives and live in our hearts, we're never going to be without God again. I can't think anyone else I'd rather spend eternity with, can you?
I mentioned this morning that when we get saved Jesus writes our name in the Lamb's Book Of Life, and that no eraser can blot us out. No erasable pen, no pencil eraser, not even those huge gummy erasers we had to use as kids can do it. Nothing. Because our names are written in his blood, and you can't get blood out, not his blood anyway.
Jesus died for us, all of us, and because of that, once we get saved, our names get written in the Book Of Life, and we never are left alone again.
My question to you is, are you going to alone for all eternity? Don't let your answer be yes. If you want to know how to sit in Jesus' thrown with him, to have his arms safely around you, let me know and either I, or my father, will help you.
For those of you who already are saved, when was the last time you crawled into your father's lap?
*corrected from overachiever, thanks Dad

My "Father" and I were together this morning too. He is as closer as the words from my mouth. Ain't it good?
