Because Jesus rose again\u2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have to fear tomorrow or face it alone<\/p>\n

We have peace that surpasses all understanding<\/p>\n

We are sons and daughters of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords<\/p>\n

We can sing praises of your matchless love, grace and mercy<\/p>\n

We can sleep knowing that should we never wake, the splendors of Heaven await us<\/p>\n

We have hope that never ends, regardless of the darkness chasing us<\/p>\n

We can take our greatest treasures with us to Heaven\u2026our family and friends<\/p>\n

We enjoy the majesty of this gift of life and the beauty you\u2019ve filled it with<\/p>\n

We can live an abundant life experiencing joy as only you can give<\/p>\n

We can smile through tears, knowing that all things work together for good<\/p>\n

We can stand strong in His strength and work though His power, not our own<\/p>\n

We are refreshed by the daily renewing of His mercies<\/p>\n

We are encouraged by His faithfulness<\/p>\n

We know that every tear will be wiped away<\/p>\n

We know that His love reaches us\u2026..regardless<\/p>\n

We know true, honest and pure love<\/p>\n

We know that our God is greater<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND because a single promise was kept\u2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are looking for the promised return, knowing it could be any moment\u2026 a twinkling of an eye<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
