One day everything belonging to the order of life we know
today will evaporate in the recreative mist of God's grace.

All will be made new.

God will reign with His people and they will share the now
incomprehensible blessings of a new heaven and earth.

Adam, Eve, and Abraham.
Joseph, Daniel and Lazarus.
The woman at the well and Mary, mother of Jesus.

Lazarus, Paul, Timothy,
And the saints of all ages.

All shall praise Jesus as the Alpha and Omega, Beginning and
End of all things.

The "No More" times will reign due to the transforming power
of God's saving grace.

No More...

Broken lives,
Broken homes,
Or broken promises.

Days when false hope, false pride, and false humility claim
*No More* victories in the hearts of men because the total
and complete victory of Jesus will be...

Accepted,
Realized,
And enjoyed by His own:
Forever.

No More...

Nights of mental agony,
Hours coping with the reality of debilitating disease,

Or years responding to attacks on innocent populations by
misguided religious zealots.

*No More* worship without meaning, life without purpose, or
living with the harsh realities of regret.

No More...

Foster homes,
Centers for abused women and children,
Twelve step recovery programs,

Unrestrained evil,
Oppression of the poor,
Torture without mercy,
Or exploitation without conscience.

No More...

Misunderstanding,
Understanding for the wrong reasons,
Cheating,
Being cheated,

Or living for everything wrong though everything seems so
right.

Faith will not be abandoned, deceiving spirits will not
encase the hearts of men in tombs of godless teachings,
And sin on any level will rule *No More.*

Ever.

"Oh, Father, God of all time and eternity, we as follwers of
Jesus long for our 'No More' days. Keep us looking to You
and loving You with all our hearts.

Help us to trust when it hurts, see with the eyes of faith
when seeing gets tough, and serve Your Son with passion
because of the passion He suffered for us.

Enable us to enter our 'No More' days with a quiet rest in
the love, power and wisdom that envelops all you determine
for us and our world.

In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen!"
