Considering that your knowledge of the Bible is much greater than mine, I read your post with interest and a kind of sad longing.

At a New Year's party last night, I looked at the faces of sweet children who were present, playing in a gorgeous garden ... and wondered what their New Years' Eve will be like 20 years from now. I prayed that it would be a good one.

Thanks for your kind words.

I’m keenly familiar with such feelings.

Yet, I believe that we have been born

“for such a time as this.”

To do with HIS HELP, BLOOD, SPIRIT . . . GREAT EXPLOITS FOR HIS KINGDOM.

Part of me suspects that the idea that we, before we were born, chose with The Father major facets of our earthly sojourn. There’s nothing in Scripture to suggest that. And it is just a musing of mine . . . not my original idea, BTW. I actually think a Mormon came up with the notion first.

I just can’t think of any Scripture that would preclude it being true. And, it smacks of something like Father’s tendencies to do.

Regardless, my Salvation is Secure in Christ’s Blood.
HE Has promised to never leave nor forsake us and to take us to be with Him eternally.

That’s what matters, essentially.
