I Asked for Swift and He's Faithful

Last night I didn't feel like delving further into Romans, which is btdubbs the next book of the Bible I'm going to. I'm doing my next series of writings on the letters Paul wrote to the churches. So anyway, I did something I've done a million times.

Lord show me what you'd have me to read. And I just opened my Bible. 

To Revelations.

I've never ever been led to read Revelations. Ever. 

So I opened the Word to Revelations and the first thing I saw was Revelations 21:22 and the Lord was like not there. Other page. Yes, the Spirit nudges me like that. 

My eyes landed on Revelations 21:4-7

And it reads thusly....

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditionsand the former order of things have passed away.

And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine).

And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life.

He who is victorious shall inherit all these things, and I will be God to him and he shall be My son.

As soon as I read the first line I thought "Amanda." I went and read some of the before part and its about The New Heaven and the New Earth after where we are currently has gone away. What I came away from this with is this....

She's fine. And not only is she fine, but whatever was going on is no longer relevant. She's with the Father. 

I had recently prayed a prayer about answers. I wanted to know How and Why? How could someone who belonged to Him not have found Him to be her strong tower if He's that for the rest of us? My logic told me He's not a respecter of persons and so did the Word but I still had questions. Its what I said in that prayer but that doesn't mean my heart knew it.  Can I offer that He moved my heart with  this though?  Its very clear. He was and is her strong tower. He was and is her refuge. She just needed to be with Him to have that. 

I'm still waiting for more but can I tell you I prayed that prayer a whole 3 days ago. And yes I am crying because His faithfulness will blow your mind. And I asked for a swift response....I surely did. And He did what....3 days. I just.... ok Jesus.
