Esther’s eyes where a little more opened of just how big God’s love is for her.  We were reading the last part of Revelation 14 about the Harvest on Earth.  “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest on earth is ripe.”  Rev 14:15  “The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.”  Rev 14:19

In the first part of the chapter it was talking about belonging either to the Lamb or the beast.  “They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.  They were purchased from among men and offered as first fruits to God and the Lamb.”  Revelation 14:4  “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he too, will drink of the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.”  Revelation 14:9-10

As her heart was pondering ‘why is my sin not put in the winepress?  It deserves to be in the winepress.’  She saw that those who belong to the beast will live in their sin forever, being tormented for eternity.  But as someone who belongs to the Lamb she was trying to wrap her head around where her sin goes.  We talked about how Jesus bore her sins on the cross, he took the wrath for her.  So that she can follow the lamb.  “This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.”  Rev 14:12

My sweet child, may you always inquire of God’s love for you.        May He show you His abundance of love that can not be separated!  You are his child marked with the seal of the lamb. “the Father’s name written on (your) forehead” Rev 14:1.
