If you are visiting  fromGraceforGlory for the first time, please take a minute to  read the ABOUT section.  I believe God has given me the ability to hear Him  —  so you can hear him also.  He calls me His Child –  but has reminded me often that these words are for ALL His children.   I invite you to listen as HIS child.  Remember always,  God loves you. †

On October 4, 2015, a wonderful man left us to be with the Lord.  The morning of his celebration of life, the Lord gifted me with this powerful message.  I always felt like a good person when I was around Ed.  He just had that way, a presence of peace and love that didn’t allow us to be anything but good.  I will miss you Ed.

“My child, death is not goodbye … It is only—until you meet again.  A bitter and a sweet transition — and a glorious reunion.  He had to go, sweet child … he had to come.  His work is here.  A faithful and a faith-filled servant.  He knew, and he came in loving obedience … received in grace and reunited with the love of his life — Jesus.  He leaves no one alone– for as you feel close to his memory— he is close to you.  Child, you ask, “is there a special message.”  Yes there is …

.

Be a believer like Ed.  believe in each other, believe in goodness, believe in the power of the King — believe in prayer.  Let him lead you in prayer— let him lead you to prayer.  He went before you to be united with my son— so that you can believe in eternity.  Child, he came willingly— but would never had done  so if he did not believe that all would be well .. for all whom he loved.  BELIEVE in love.  Your brother has one word for you … ‘believe’.  Let that be enough.  Always a man of few words, a man who did not have to speak for you to know that he loved and cared for you … for his heart filled his entire frame.  He loved and he believed.  He loves and he believes.  It is all—and it is enough for you to love and believe.  It will carry you through the loneliness, the questions, the grief, the bitterness.

Love and believe … as Ed … in Ed … and for Ed.

Believe that you will be saved and united … and sooner than later, sweet child.

Believe the pain … it is real.  Embrace it for it is the measure if his being, of his earthly presence … and gently let it go and unite with the spirit.  Receive the healing grace of my son.

Believe in Jesus.  Above all, believe in salvation and celebrate the man who celebrated you with his love — every day he lived.

Believe, sweet child, believe.

Whenever you hear that word spoken — wherever it is written — know that your dear brother speaks to you.

BELIEVE.

Sweet child, go into the day to celebrate the homecoming— rejoice and be glad in the parting and believe in the grace of understanding.  One day, you will understand.  Today it is not necessary or possible, so let go of that struggle and celebrate.

Rejoice and believe.

Sweet child, go and love.”
