Clinging to Eternity

"Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." 2 Corinthians 5:1

Woke up at sunrise...news from our tenants disrupted any idea of a restful sleep.  Our bold ficus tree's roots have sprawled in search of water into our plumbing wreaking havoc, doing what God's creation does best. Survives. Rolled off my rented love seat (for at least a few more weeks), fell to my shaken knees, and sang this needing prayer....

Hear our prayer
we are your children and
we've gathered here today
We've gathered here to pray

Hear our cry, Lord we need your mercy
And we need your grace today
hear us as we pray

Hear our song
As it rises to heaven
May your glory fills the air
as the waters cover the sea

See our heart
And remove anything
that is standing in the way
Of coming to you today
our father who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name'
our father hear us from heaven
forgive our sins we pray

Though we are few
we're surrounded by many
Who have crossed that river before
And this  is the song we'll be singing for ever

HOLY is the LORD 
HOLY is the LORD

Everything material will disappear. And He will remain.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8

Do you find security in that fact?
