Our hope in Christ

 

“But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.“

Acts 20:24

Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer who wrote Blessed Assurrance, Jesus is mine and more than a thousand other hymns, knew this truth well. She said,

"It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation. If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me."
