But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
There are many more verses in the Bible thar tells us how much God thinks of us and many promises that we can rely on, but only if we are His child.
Just as we pack for a trip, there are things we need to “pack” on our journey toward Heaven.
The first and most important is Salvation. Being saved is our ticket, and without it we cannot enter. Prayer, Faith, Love Joy, Patience, Goodness, Truth, Service, Witnessing and Forgiveness. (you may think of a few more) are needed for our trip.

There is something special about old hymns. This one has the whole gospel in one song. Jesus died, was buried, rose again and will return. He did that all for you and me.
One day when heaven was filled with His praises, One day when sin was as black as could be, Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin— Dwelt among men, my example is He! Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Refrain: Buried, He carried my sins far away; Rising, He justified freely forever: One day He’s coming—O glorious day!
One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain, One day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Suffering anguish, despised and rejected; Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He.
One day they left Him alone in the garden, One day He rested, from suffering free; Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil; Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He.
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, One day the stone rolled away from the door; Then He arose, over death He had conquered; Now is ascended, my Lord evermore.
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, One day the skies with His glory will shine; Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing; Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!
We are free from sin, justified and we will be with Him and our loved ones again! Glorious Day!
