"Those Who Sleep in Jesus
Remember when your little child would go to sleep for the night,
and the sense of relief that she was going to be all right.
No need to worry about her being led astray.
No need to worry about her being stolen away.
No need to worry that she might fall down and get hurt.
At least for that day you could finally have a peace in your heart,
that your precious little girl was safe and sound.
So too is it with our Heavenly Father I have found.
For those who fall asleep, yet love and belong to Him,
He no longer has to be worried or concerned about them.
However for those that remain here on earth they are filled with grief,
but for Almighty God the burden is finally lifted and replaced with relief.
He no longer has to worry that we could ever fall away from Him.
He no longer has to worry that the Devil may lure us into sin.
For those who Sleep in Jesus can no longer be led astray.
For those who Sleep in Jesus have finally found the perfect Way.
For those who Sleep in Jesus will forever be with them;
and I Am very certain that your darling daughter fell asleep in Him.
So comfort your hearts in the knowledge that her life has just begun;
and more importantly
that she will be standing right beside the Glorious One,
Who suffered and died in order to bring us back to Life.
For those who Sleep in Jesus will He bring
when He comes to claim His Wife."
