And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

I Peter 5:4 (KJV)

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Romans 11:33-36 (KJV)

Our hope is not in this dusty earthly kingdom.

No our hope is far, far, far more glorious and

greater then we can even imagine. Our hope,

royally redeemed, is in the eternal, everlasting

kingdom that is to come. Our hope is when we

will see our Father, Son, and, Holy Spirit face to

face in all their splendor, glory, and majesty.

Our hope is when our faith becomes sight.

Our hope is when our blessed, redeemer, and

chief Shepherd shall appear and we will indeed

receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Our hope is that because of His indescribable

eternal gifts, whose depths we can never

plummet, we will place our crown of glory that

fadeth not away at His nail pierced feet as we

worship and adore our resplendent Savior Jesus Christ,

our Savior, our Redeemer, our friend, our King of Kings.

And as we humbly, gratefully, tearfully stand in the luminous,

breath taking, magnificent, spectacular, awe- inspiring

throne room of glorious grace surrounded by our Savior’s

glory, beauty, majesty, power, love, and forgiveness we will

forever be grateful, for the honor of all honors that we are

the beloved, royal, redeemed child of the King of Kings.

For of Him, through Him, and to Him, are all things:

to whom be glory forever, forever, and forever. Amen.

One eye on the cross of Jesus Christ, King of

Kings and Lord of Lords, our everything.

One eye on the clouds for Jesus Christ, King of

Kings and Lord of Lords is indeed coming soon

even thought we do not know the joyful when.

One eye on the Cross. One eye on the clouds.

This will bring us exuberant and non-ending

Christ-given joy. May we rehearse these

hope filled doctrines incessantly moment

by moment by moment, day by day by day.

For a faith that is focused on the Cross and

the rapture of the Church will bring an

exuberant, triumphant joy and hope

to all those who are royally redeemed.
