I'd Never Miss Heaven For The World

Since the weather has warmed I have noticed some pretty little flowers blooming. Here is a picture of the "johnny jump ups" that volunteer each year in my back yard. They are so pretty...... just spread everywhere. Isn't God good to let us enjoy these? I also took some pics of the crocuses and daffodils (may post some of them later). But for now.......

1) Beyond the borders of time there's a beautiful land. The Word of God its glory unfurled. And by the grace of God I someday will call it my home. I'd never miss heaven for the world.

Cho) I'd never miss seeing Jesus. I'd never miss seeing loved ones who've gone on before. I'd never trade forever for a few days down here. I'd never miss heaven for the world.

2) As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Tho' things of earth may try to allure. For the smile of God means more than earths brief glittering day. I'd never miss heaven for the world.

I John 2:15-17

15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of this world.

17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.

Romans 12 1-2

1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I Peter 2:11

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:24

And they that are Christ's have crucified (or put to death) the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Titus 2:11-12

11) For the grace of god that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.

12) Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.

John 15:18-19

18) If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19) If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

"I have left all the world to follow Jesus. Never backward to its follies will I turn. Oh, I'm on my upward way and it's brighter everyday. I have left all the world to follow Jesus"
