To Encourage You

I think about my mom quite often. Virtually every day since she died a year and a half ago.

This morning during my time with the Lord, I read again these texts in Revelation. They encouraged me because I could see in my mind’s eye Mom standing around the throne of her Savior, doing just what it says here. 

Have you lost to death someone you love? If they died in Christ, having all their sins washed in His blood, then your loved one is in the same crowd as my mom, worshipping the Lord Jesus. I hope these texts will encourage you and lift your spirit:

--------

“Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

"And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” (Revelation 5:9-13)

-----------

“After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

"And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7:9-12)

I hope you are encouraged.
