FAITH WILL BE EXCHANGE FOR SIGHT IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY FRIEND OKLOBIA
.jpg)
We walk here by faith, not by sight. You believe in God, but you have not beheld his glory as the blessed dead have done. You believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, but it is in one "whom have not seen you love." You believe in the Holy Spirit, and you have been conscious of his presence by faith, but there is something better yet; a clearer sight is yet to be hand, which we cannot enjoy while we tarry here. At present we take everything on the testimony of God's word and the witness of hos spirit: but we have not yet seen the celestial city, nor heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps, nor eaten at the banquets of the glorified. We enjoy a foretaste of all these, and anticipate them by faith, but actual enjoyments are not of this world. What a man seeth why doth he hope for? As this is the realm of hope we cannot expect to see, but we are going to the place where we shall not so much believe as behold, where we shall not so much credit as enjoy. We are nearing the country where we shall
"See and hear and know,
All we desired or wished below."
And faith shall be exchanged for the clearest sight.
Enjoy your new and beutiful home. Rest in peace my dear friend Oklobia, until we meet to path no more.
