Jesus held out His hand, inviting me to take Not seeing what was there, in faith I did partake Consequentially I did not know, what I had agreed to “Place your trust in Me,” said the Faithful and the True “There are things coming that you will not understand But, remember all things, still come from My hand They might make you happy or incredibly sad Maybe the desires of your heart or just terribly bad” “Everything that happens, I already know about Place your faith in Me-remove any doubt All things will work for good if you remain in My love You are in training for reigning in My ways up above” “How can you understand forgiveness, unless it happens to you? Or show grace and mercy-to those who don’t have your view? If you love Me, obey Me, and keep yourselves pure It is the blood of the Lamb that will help you endure” “Only on this earth can you learn to overcome Be faithful to the end, for some that includes martyrdom At the end of life’s journey, I will hold out My hand You will hear, ‘well done,’ and then understand” Debbie Furey December 20, 2019 Revelation 5:9-10 – “And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” Revelation 12:11 – “They triumphed over him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” John 15:4-8 Romans 8:28-39 Revelation 2:8-11
