House of Abundance
Drink, already.
All objections to our abiding in God’s perpetual lovingkindness, each obstacle preventing us from eating our full of the abundance of His house, and every offense that disqualifies us from drinking deeply of the river of His delights, has been lifted off of us and placed on our Savior, Jesus.
Who benefits, who is lifted, who is . . .
Make His Praise Glorious
Spend it?
Sing the glory of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Psalm 66:2

Here On Earth pt. 2
Part Two
A few more things that are only possible to do here while we are on the earth:
This is the last chance we have
... to tell folks about the Gospel of Jesus Christ
... to represent Him to folks, that they might 'see Him in person.'
... to live, worship, and love God by faith
--- to see and to know and to . . .
