No Stranger in Heaven

Thou shalt guide me with Thy Counsel, and afterward receive me to glory - Psalm 73:24

From day to day and from year to year my faith believes in the wisdom and love of God, and I  know that I shall not believe in vain. No good word of His has ever failed, and I am sure that  none shall ever fall to the ground.

I put myself into His hand for guidance. I know not the way that I should choose: the Lord shall choose mine inheritance for me. I need counsel and advice; for my duties are intricate, and my  condition is involved. . . The counsel of the infallible God I seek in preference to my own judgment  or the advice of friends. . .

Soon the end will come: a few more years and I must depart out of this world unto the Father. My Lord will be near my bed. He will meet me at heaven's gate: He will welcome me to the  gloryland. I shall not be a stranger in heaven: my own God and Father will receive me to its endless bliss.

Glory be to Him who
Will guide me here,
And receive me hereafter. Amen.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
