When Tomorrow Starts Without Me​

When tomorrow starts without me, ... and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.​

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready, in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.​

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.​

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.​

But then I fully realized, that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.​

But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.​

But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?​

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."

looking up and perceiving the machinery by which we have been moved.
In this act lies the first steps towards freedom.'

The Bridge to Your Breakthrough





“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!”..
Habakkuk 3:17–18

Habakkuk knew what to do when things seemed completely hopeless.
His world was literally falling apart around Him.
There was destruction everywhere he looked.
But Habakkuk knew that God was bigger than his circumstances!
So what did he do?
He invited God into his circumstances by rejoicing and praising the Lord.
He made the choice to be joyful knowing that it would connect him
to the One who would deliver him!

Are you facing a situation that seems dark or hopeless?
No matter how difficult things may seem,
God has a plan to bring you out into a place of victory.
Your praise is the bridge that will carry you into your land of promise.
The Bible tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people,
and when the presence of God manifests, the enemy has to flee!
The Bible also tells us that there is fullness of joy in His presence.
His joy empowers us to walk through any difficulty we may be facing.
No matter how things may seem in the natural, you can rejoice today
because God is working behind the scenes on your behalf.
As you praise Him, He will fill you with His joy
and pour out His abundant blessing in every area of your life.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I come to You trusting that You are my deliverer.
No matter what is going on around me,
today I choose to bless and praise Your name.
I choose to connect to You, knowing
that You are the source of my strength, hope and peace.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thank you Robert Bro'

"The dark flood must soon roll between thee and all thou hast; then wed thine heart to Him who will never leave thee; trust thyself with Him who will go with thee through the black and surging current of death's stream, and who will land thee safely on the celestial shore, and make thee sit with Him in heavenly places for ever."

[davedajobauk]

Mockery, like anger, is a powerful emotional force.
In the Bible, it was almost always used by a proud person
who was trying to stop or hinder the work of God or the truth of God.
Mockery of truth was an attempt to get people to lay aside their minds and follow their emotions.
Jesus faced much mockery while here on earth.
It is questionable whether Christians should ever use mockery.
Psalm 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man that ... sitteth not in the seat of the scornful.”

A wise old man was once asked:
“In a relationship, which is more important,
To Love or to be Loved?”

He replied:
“Which is more important to a bird,
the Left wing or the Right wing?”

[nChrist]

"Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you. It is the attitude and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with the truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed."

- Charles Stanley
