No Stranger in Heaven
You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
~ Psalm 73:24
"From day to day and from year to year, my faith believes in the wisdom and love of God, and I know that I shall not believe in vain. No good word of His has ever failed, and I am sure that none shall ever fall to the ground.
I put myself into His hand for guidance. I know not the way that I should choose: the Lord shall choose mine inheritance for me. i need counsel and advice, for my duties are intricate and my condition is involved. The counsel of the infallible God I seek, in preference to my own judgment or the advice of friends.
Soon the end will come: a few more Years, and I must depart out of this world unto the Father. My Lord will be near my bed. He will meet me at heaven's gate: He will welcome me to the Glory Land. I shall not be a stranger in heaven: my own God and Father will receive me to its endless bliss." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

Loved Perfection
Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
~ John 13:1
"Having loved..." That He should ever have loved men at all is the marvel. What was there in His poor disciples that He should love them? What is there in me?
It is His nature to love. Love made the saints "His own"! He purchased them with blood and they became His treasure. Being His own, He will not lose them. Being His beloved, He will net cease to love them. He will not cease to love you!
"To the end," even till His death the ruling passion of love to His own reigned in His sacred bosom. It means also to the uttermost. He could not love them more: He gave Himself for them. Some read it, "to perfection." Truly He lavished upon them a perfect love, which had no flaw nor failure, no unwisdom, no unfaithfulness, and no reserve.
Such is the love of Jesus to each one of His people." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

He Will Carry Us Home
"Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
~ Isaiah 46:4
"The year is very old, and here is a promise for us all, as age creeps over us. Let us live long enough, and we shall all have gray hairs; therefore we may as well enjoy this promise by the foresight of faith.
When we grow old, our God will still be the I AM, abiding evermore the same. Hoar hairs tell of our decay, but He decays not. When we cannot carry a burden and can hardly carry ourselves, the Lord will carry us.
He made us, and He will care for us. When we become a burden to our friends and a burden to ourselves, the Lord will not shake us off, rather He will take us up and carry and deliver us more fully than ever.
Let us not dread old age. Let us grow old graciously, since the Lord Himself is with us in fullness of grace." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
