When I first got saved, I remember days when I would look into heaven and say, "Lord, don't come yet! I have so much I want to do! ....life is so good!"
Now eighteen years later, life is still good. I am married to the most wonderful man on earth, have a great family, and feel my life is totally blessed by God, but I have gone through some things. I have experienced trials, temptations, betrayal, failures, and persecutions. There have been deep disappointments, tears of grief that have kept me awake at night, and pains that have caused me to ask, "Why?".
Now I look into heaven, grateful for such a good life, yet also knowing the hurts of life, and say, "Lord, come quickly!" I long for Him! I long for Heaven, a place where there will be no more tears or sorrow. I know now more than ever that there is no hope in this world. This world is not my home; I am just passing through, waiting for my home in eternity where I belong.
I love the phrase in this song..."What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy?" Amen!
