Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again…through the resurrection of Jesus Christ…to obtain an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.

Excerpts from 1 Peter 1:3-4 (New American Standard Bible)

~~~

I magnify You for Your

Purity

Holiness

Justice

Fairness

Faithfulness

Power

Protection

Thank you that Jesus will return

With a shout of triumph

The dead in Christ will be raised – imperishable

In a flash – the twinkling of an eye

I will be completely, utterly changed

I will see You face to face.

Your Kingdom is just, peaceful, and everlasting

A kingdom that cannot be shaken

You will never be voted out

Satan will be chained

No coup will ever dethrone You.

 

Thank You for a lasting inheritance

Imperishable – I can’t think of anything on earth that can not be destroyed.

Undefiled – Everything and everyone I know is full of impurities.

Unfading – I cannot imagine joy that will not go away, flowers that will not die, clothing that will not fade.

Reserved – It is done – with my name on it.

 

You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords

For all eternity

Forever and ever.
