Son, I AM the first to rise from the dead, ruler of all the kings of the world. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I AM the One who is, who always was, and who is still to come – the Almighty One. I died for one and all, but I AM alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.
I love you and freed you from your sins when I shed My blood for you. I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you get upset by evil people and that you hate what I hate.
But, Son, do you love Me? Then do all that I ask of you. I know that to be faithful to Me in this world will cause you to suffer, and you may lose things of the world, but you will be rich in My kingdom if you remain faithful! So don’t be afraid of what is coming; remain faithful, and I will give you the crown of life.
LORD, I rejoice in Your presence every morning! For You are a father to the fatherless, defender of widows. You are my Father and Defender! Each day I know that You carry me in Your arms, because my time with You is awesome!
