I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from Me. – (John 10:28, NLT)
I give My sheep eternal life. They will never die, and no one can take them out of My hand. – (John 10:28, ERV)
I give them a life that is unceasing, and death will not have the last word. Nothing or no one can steal them from My hand. – (John 10:28, VOICE)
Once we commit our hearts and lives to the Lord, no one can take His love, hope nor peace away from us. Our future is secure in His hands. Eternity is promised in His presence, when our trust is in the Lord. No matter what comes, we are His. There is much comfort in the blessed assurance that the Lord holds us in His hands and will not allow anything nor anyone to steal us away from Him. May we trust all that we are in His hands, and allow the hope found in Christ alone, to permeate every pore of our being.
The Lord gives us life,
for eternity;
as we give ourselves,
His love sets us free.
Free to embrace hope,
by truth, we are found;
no more set to die,
in His life, we’re crowned.
And beyond the hope,
He holds us secure;
nothing can remove,
our future’s assured.
All glory to God,
our Savior and King;
Protector, defense,
from trials life brings.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You give eternal life, and that in You, we will never truly die. Thank You that nothing and no one can steal us from Your loving and protective hand. Forgive us for seeing You as less than You are and making You too small in our own understanding. Teach us to begin to grasp the greatness of who You are and how You love, so that we would trust without wavering. Show us how to love others in a way that highlights the hope we hold in You. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we receive all that You offer, and trust in You with all that we are. Amen.

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. – Psalm 23:6
