Beloved (Octavius Winslow)

Jude 1:24

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

Beloved, soon, O how soon! all that now 
loads the heart with care, and wrings it with sorrow; 
all that dims the eye with tears, and renders the 
day anxious and the night sleepless, will be as 
though it had never been! 

Emerging from.... 
the entanglement, 
the dreariness, 
the solitude, 
the loneliness, and 
the temptations of the wilderness, 
you shall enter upon your everlasting rest, 
your unfading inheritance, where there is.... 
no sorrow, 
no declension, 
no sin, 
no sunset, 
no twilight, 
no evening shadows, 
no midnight darkness, 
but all is one perfect, cloudless, eternal day, for 
JESUS is the joy, the light, and the glory thereof! 

"And now, all glory to God, who is able to keep 
you from stumbling, and who will bring you into 
His glorious presence innocent of sin and with 
great joy! All glory to Him, who alone is God our 
Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Yes, glory, 
majesty, power, and authority belong to Him, in 
the beginning, now, and forevermore! Amen." 
Jude 1:24-25
