Hebrews 10:12-14<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. <\/span>For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.<\/span><\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you remember those children\u2019s stories that always ended with\u00a0\u201cAnd they lived happily ever after\u201d?\u00a0<\/em>Then we got older and realized that those stories were merely fairy tales and that it is impossible to live happily ever after. Right? Wrong!<\/p>\n

We serve a Lord and Savior who promises us the most spectacular “ever after” that could ever be imagined. Sometimes in Scripture we are given glimpses into that wonderful eternity that God has prepared for those who choose Jesus as their Lord and Savior.<\/p>\n

In those children’s fables that we read here on earth there comes a place where all of the problems and trials are ended and everything in the future is going to be perfect. We know that is just not true. We live in the reality of a sin-wrecked world that is filled with suffering and strife.<\/p>\n

Let me quickly offer the hope that we find in the Bible: This world is not our eternal home — we are here for such a brief time that it is hard to measure in Eternity Standard Time. There will<\/em> be a HAPPILY EVER AFTER for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to live HAPPILY EVER AFTER!<\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
