The Life of Evangelist Sheila Thomas Rockmore
The life of one who has gone before us, the race she has won. Her journey has now
ended, her spirit has ascended claiming the great reward With Jesus, our Lord. And he
said to her, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” ~ Luke 23:43
“If you could see me now, you wouldn’t shed a tear. Though you may not understand
why I’m no longer there. Remember my spirit that is the real me because I’m still very
much alive, I’ve just been set free, oh, if you could only see! I have beheld our Father’s
face and I’ve touched my Savior’s hand. All of Heaven’s angels rejoiced as I entered the
Promised Land. Beyond the gates of pearl, I’ve walked on the golden streets. I’ve
touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the Crystal Sea. The beauty is beyond
words, and nothing could compare, I’ve even seen your mansion and someday I’ll meet
you there. Let Jesus be your guide because His Word will show you the way! So please
don’t cry because we will meet again someday.”
