Recently Roger and I have had the joy of being at the weddings of two of our young women leaders. Women that I can testify for the past 2 years working alongside of them, have opted for God's best and committed to purity as a desire to give that man that God chooses for them, the greatest gift. It hasn't been easy at times, (nor is it ever) but they truly didn't settle. And now Roger and I have the complete honor of witnessing, in the past 3 weeks, 2 marriages made in heaven, then fulfilled here on earth.
I am blessed to see this new remnant arising before my eyes. These wonderful, godly couples, united forever and fighting with them, to trust God had their man! Amen to that!
I can't help but think how wonderful it will be at the marriage feast God throws! I really long to be in heaven. I think everything here is so temporary based on that which is offered in eternity for those who believe, and have faith now. I believe! Believe to the point of sheer excitement and bliss!! When I get excited I think of being with the KING of KINGS..... He's so much more awesome than our little brains paint Him to be. Think of everything beautiful.. and KNOW HE is that Creator. Think of the power, the might, the wisdom, yet the gracious sincere nature of our loving God. I can't wait to see us all fall on our knees before Him..... not even able to utter anything other than, "Jesus is Lord". Breathless.... ahhh.... the wonder of it all.
I long now to live with that hope, that if my life here on earth is simply a test I want to prove faithful.
My family has been asking me what I want for my birthday..., "Besides heaven and beholding our Lord!!...."
"More of Him" is my prayer... I count all else loss next to KNOWING Him as my Lord. Phil 3:8
Oh I shall enjoy the fellowship now I have with His Holy Spirit, KNOWING that it is simply a deposit of a guarantee that in heaven I will exchange for becoming an heir with my Jesus. wow...
(deep sigh....)
Heavenward, I am on mission. May I not waste a moment here, motivated by being Face to Face with Jesus Christ. How GLORIOUS He will be!!!!!! So handsome, so might, so strong... my hero. Truly.
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who LOVE him." 1 Corinthians 2:9
And you ask me why I can't wait?????? duhhhh?????? BIG :)
I love you Jesus. How I wish everyone knew and understood how wonderful you are. xo
