God Is Good

John 7:
37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"

Revelation 22:
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

As she lays in her hospital bed, her eighty something mind racing wondering if she will ever go home, she clings to the knowledge "God is good".
She has an earthly family who loves her, a husband of 64 years she has shared life with, a blessed life! 
Things she knows well, but none compare to the knowledge of a Savior who" while she was a sinner, died for her"!
He took her as she was, sin and all, and made her a new creation! 
She stands on the promise from sweet Jesus" I will never leave or forsake you". 
Even while she is uncertain of what tomorrow holds, she can rest in the trust of a eternity purchased by the death and resurrection of a holy Savior! 
Not something she earned, but a precious gift given through mercy!
What indescribable mercy The Lord has shown us! 
Do you know the definition of indescribable? 
It is too extraordinary for description!
Eternity, yes there is one! 
Tomorrow will not come forever!
Death is certain for all!
Where have you put your trust?
There is an open invitation for you!
Repent and know the joy of everlasting salvation through Christ!

Romans 5:8
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Luke 5:32
I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."
Luke 15:7
Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Matthew 26:26-28
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you,
28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for 
many for the forgiveness of sins.
