Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing.  2 Timothy 4:8

Today you are invited to consider the crown of righteousness that the Lord will give to you.  What does that mean to you when you consider this promise?  What does it mean when you think of those whom you love who will receive their own crowns?  How do you feel when you think of all those who have gone before you – and who will arrive after you – to know that each one of you will have a crown of righteousness?  Celebrate this fact today in praise and worship.  But don’t forget those whom you know and love who do not know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.  Pray for them that they too may give their lives to the Lord and one day enjoy the glory of eternal life in God’s presence.  Pray – for you do not know when the time will come.

May God bless you as you celebrate life and hope with Him today
