As a believer, I keep the thought that now, any pain and sorrow, is just for now. I believe in every believer's heart there is a longing to be in this place that Jesus has promised us......
Revelations 22: 14-15, " Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderer's, the idolators and everyone who loves and practices falsehood."
We are here, but living on the edge of heaven. We have the Holy Spirit to lead us each day. To remind us of what's to come. What beauty waits for us. But we can also enjoy the beauty that is here.
1 Thessalonians 4:7, tells us while we are here, what kind of life a believer should be living. " For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit."
I love life, and I am grateful for everyday He gives me. As I get older, and talk to alot of older people, they bring up the scripture Paul stated in Philippinas 1:23, " I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ which is better by far, but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body." What a beautiful selfless scripture. We are here to serve our Lord. To encourage those who are looking for answers. Who may not have made a decision to accept Jesus in their life. But also for those of us who have, we should reflect what the scriptures say.
There will one day be for those who believe in Jesus Christ, no more pain, no more crying, and no more sorrow. Revelations 21:4. This is something all believers look forward to. For now, there is work still to do for the coming Eternal Kingdom.
For His glory
