John 15:4 (KJV)
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”
Everything I see in Him, everything I do in Him, everything I have in Him, and everything I feel in Him is eternal. Nothing is lost in Him. Nothing is wasted in Him, absolutely nothing. It is never over in Him; it begins and is sustained in Him.
In Him I move, breathe, and have my being; in Him. I am lost in Him, I am found in Him, for in Him I am consumed and overtaken by Him; “Him” is just all over me. More of Him I get more of Him I want; just ate up from the floor up with Him.
I am my own tombstone and on my heart is engraved “Him.” Rain can’t wash it off, fire can’t scorch or burn it off, and any sized hail can’t beat it off; “Him” is on here to stay forever, He is my forever.
I will never forget the black man that attended my home church when I was a child. He said, “If they send me to hell, my Holy Ghost and fire will burn everything up down there.” He said that with a genuine confidence in Him.
There is no pride, jealousy, bitterness, or resentment in Him; in Him exist that I may exist in Him. Death where is your sting? Grave where is your victory? Neither one of you have anything on “Him.” Moses and Elias stood next to “Him” and testified of things we know nothing about and our theology cannot explain. In Him are things beyond me. So, come on Death give it your best shot; come on Grave, give it your best shot too. On the last day He will raise me up as He has said, He will be in me and I will be in Him.
In Him.
