Today I got news that a great man of God has gone on to that great land of glory. Brother Lonnie Jenkins. I didn't know him very well personally. Just a few visits while I was with his family. He made me a beautiful breakfast one morning. The thing that I, and I'm sure many others, knew him by was his life's testimony.
What an outstanding example of what a Christian should be. He lived true to God's word, humbly, and never looked down on a single person. He welcomed visitors to their church no matter what their background. Most of all he had profound understanding of the scriptures and the message God brought through Brother Branham.
Seeing all of the posts from people on Facebook has inspired me to write this post. So many beautiful things being said about Brother Lonnie. One of my favorite being that is now hearing the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." Oh how my heart longs to be there where he is!
Thank you, Lord, for the most beautiful life of Lonnie Jenkins. One that I can look at as an example. I pray that I can live even a fraction of how he lived!
Keeping my darling Jenkins family in my thoughts and prayers today. We will all be joining him soon enough.
Isaiah 25:21
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
