But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
The most powerful feeling in the freedom that comes with salvation in Jesus Christ is spending our eternal lives in Heaven with Him and those of our family and friends that were believers that have gone on before. The next greatest Joy is knowing that God has a plan and purpose for each of us while we are living in this life and we can find comfort that our day to day circumstances may not be what we would choose for ourselves but it may be right on time for God’s plan to prepare us how where he needs us to ne in the future.
