"The Heart of Gold"

 "But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises." (Hebrews 7:6 KJV)

  "Dear brothers and sisters, here's an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or amend an irrevocable agreement, so it is in this case. God gave the promises to Abraham and his child. And notice that the Scripture doesn't say "to his children," as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says "to his child" - and that, of course, means Christ. This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made to Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise. For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God's promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise." (Galatians 3:15-18 NLT)

 Having been doing this for almost 15 years, you would think by now I would have better control on the things I might write about; as it is, I sometimes just go with whatever I feel that God is showing or telling me to type. Sometimes I don't even know what it means, at least not until I hear or see something happen that explains what God was saying or showing me. 

 This might seem a little bit complicated, but I am sure that there will be some that totally understand what it is that I have been trying to say. When we have accepted the promise, in the case of eternal life in Christ, we have been given something that cannot be revoked; it is irrevocable! As it was, with the parable of the buried treasure and the great pearl, it was God who was the one that gave all that He had to make this all happen! 

 We might not totally understand that, just because everything belongs to God in the first place; but when the Father gave His one and only Son, to suffer and die on the cross for our sins, He was giving His all to make us His treasure! Without Christ's death on that cross, we were unholy and incomplete; but by the Father's love to see us holy and complete, He gave the most precious thing He had, in order to have us live in His presence...

"I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, God's home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God themself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever." And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making everything new!" And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true." And he also said, "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega - the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children."" (Revelation 21:3-7 NLT)
