Will We Know Each Other In Heaven?

Who of us hasn't wept at the graveside of a loved one

and mourned the loss with so many questions unanswered?

Will we know our loved ones in heaven?

Will we see their face again?

 

Death is sorrowful with its separation.

It's hard for those you leave behind.

Those who love much often grieve deeply,

feeling the heartache of their empty place.

 

Yet, we sorrow for those who fall asleep in Jesus,

but not as those who have no hope.

With intense longing we desire to be with them,

to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

 

Although now we grieve the loss of cherished relationships,

we'll have eternity to catch up with those in the Lord.

Our parting is but for a moment in the timeless span of eternity.

Our longing makes heaven all the more to be hoped for!

 

Before you know it you will join your loved ones in heaven,

their smiling faces will be anxiously waiting for you.

Their familiar voice will call out your name,

so shall we ever be together with the Lord.

 

What about your loved ones who may have died without Jesus?

Will you see their face again?

Who knows that they haven't trusted Jesus at the last moment

as did the thief on the cross.

We may never know, this side of heaven.

There are times when we may be so overcome by grief

that we are unable to pray.

When our heart is grieved, and words seem inadequate,

the Lord knows the longings of our hearts

that we are unable to articulate.

 

"Likewise the Spirit helpeth our infirmities:

for we do not know what we shall pray...

but the Spirit Himself  makes intercession for us

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

...according to the will of God."

    ~ Romans 8:26-27

 

Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life

first you must believe in the Lord.

You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven

and place your trust in the Lord.

There's only one way to heaven and that's through the Lord Jesus.

That's God's wonderful plan of salvation.

 

You can begin a personal relationship with Him

by praying a prayer such as the following:

 

"O God, I am a sinner.

I've been a sinner all of my life.

Forgive me, Lord!

I want to turn from my sin.

I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior;

I confess Him as my Lord.

From now on I want to follow Him.

In Jesus' name, Amen."

 

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

                          ~ Romans 10:13

           "According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world..."

                          ~ Ephesians 1:4

 

If you have received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior

after reading this invitation, please let us know.

We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient.

Welcome to the family of God!

 

We are excited about your decision to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior,

and would like to encourage you to find a local church

that you could be a part of to help you grow in your new walk with Him. 

Also, we encourage you to develop a personal relationship with the Lord

by reading the Scriptures and to pray to Him often.

Talk to Him as you would talk to a dearest friend.

He desires that closeness and intimacy with you!

 

"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:

he shall gather the lambs with his arm,

and carry them in his bosom,

and shall gently lead those that are with young."

                ~ Isaiah 40:11
