What I Would Not Trade

By Dick B.

There’s nothing I would trade—nothing at all—for...

The love of my Heavenly Father

The forgiveness available from my Heavenly Father

The healing that can be received through my Heavenly Father

The ability to communicate with my Heavenly Father

The deliverance from the power of darkness and the translation into the kingdom of His dear son that He brought about.

The truth about Him and His son Jesus Christ revealed in His word.

The sacrifice of His son on the cross that He allowed to happen, and the suffering endured by His son on the cross in order to redeem those who believed.

The priceless opportunity He made available to those who wished to become His children by simply confessing with their mouths that His son is Lord and believing in their hearts that the Creator raised His son from the dead.

The power of the Holy Spirit that became available to God’s kids because Jesus suffered and was crucified, was buried in the ground for three days, was raised from the dead, and appeared to some five hundred, and then ascended to heaven to sit on the right hand of his Father.

The knowledge that Jesus is there to make intercession for us.

The knowledge that we can live the abundant life while on this earth.

The knowledge that: Jesus will return to gather God’s kids together; they will receive new spiritual bodies and be with the Father and His son forever; they will escape the wrath; they will be rewarded for their deeds of obedience, love, and service to God’s glory.

Having been given the ministry of reconciliation in order to lead others to Christ and salvation.

That’s the message and the truth I wouldn’t trade for anything at all.

Gloria Deo
