Morning Devotional:
I was taken aback to learn that a friend of Kinship Radio passed away last week. I had not seen her for a few years, but when I learned the news, I was instantly taken back to the many conversations we had about our love of dogs, this radio ministry, and for our mutual love of the Lord.
As I signed a sympathy card for her family, my emotions were mixed. I was sad but also glad. This dear woman, who served God with everything she had, is with her Savior and all of her struggles and troubles in this life are now over.
There are so many promises in the Word that speak of the hope of eternal life, of that day when there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. Those things will be gone for those of us who place our trust in Jesus Christ as Lord. You don’t know the day or the hour in which your time on earth is done. Do you know Jesus? If not, make Him your Lord today.
– Beth
