I have a follower!

I have a follower but my stupid work internet won't let me see who it is!

I'm excited but also kind of nervous. I definately write in this blog solely for myself and while I know other people randomly find it I assume none of them know me while a follower is probably somebody who knows me, especialy nerve racking when I don't know who it is haha!

Also to add some actual depth to this post. I just re-read the book of Revelation, which I last read when I was 14. And now it holds a lot more weight then it did back then let me tell you. So basically I think Revelation is not the fear, fire and brimstone people talk about it as. Revelation is a promise! It's God's gift to the holy, saying, "Look what I will give you. Look not at the falsehood around you." Parts of it can be scary, I wonder if I have done enough, will the Judge look in the book of life and see my name? But then I have to remember "through Christ we are saved." "He who knows Me, knows the Father." And other versus I don't want to misquote. Jesus said that when the Judge looks at the book of life he will look to Jesus and Jesus will have the final say, of either, "Yes, Father, I know him." or, "No, Father, I knew him not." When the Judge looks at my name, at my wasted potential, at my fallings and my failures, He will see only the cleansing blood of Jesus and I will be saved. Because of that, I do not fear the book of Revelation. Because of that I look at Revelation and see only the gifts God will give me. I see the glory that will be shared among my brothers and sisters in Christ. I see the justice in the punishment dealt to those who hold falsehood dear, who choose adultury, who look for violence and conflict without cause, who deal in their own strengths and earthly powers. I am more powerful then all of these, for my strength is not my own, my name and my life are not my own. These are facts I know. He who is named Faithful and True is my strength, champion of God's army, whose tongue is a sword and whose title is King of Kings. My name is not known to me, but will be revealed when the Lord brings me to His glory and writes my true name on my skin. My life is created, blessed and protected by the one who makes and governs all life and will decide who must face the second death. These are the comforts and blessing I see when I read through the book of Revelation.
