Many songs remind me of the day when I will see Jesus. The older I get, the more I long to see friends and family who are in Heaven, awaiting my arrival. I’d like to see Peter, John, and the apostle Paul. I want to hear stories from Abraham, Moses, and Elijah. Of all the biblical characters, who do you most want to see besides Jesus?
I want to see the widow who Jesus saw in the Temple so I can learn what was so valuable that she gave everything she had.
Jesus said, “There are many places where you can stay in my Father’s house. After I have prepared for your arrival, I will come back for you so we can be there together.”
— John 14:1, 3
Ten Thoughts to Ponder
- We would say more, or less, if we knew what the Lord wanted us to say, which is why we should pray without ceasing.
- Possessing God’s blessings is nothing to boast about, for their value comes from giving, not getting.
- We don’t have to define God before we can experience and know him.
- A strong-willed person can resist scratching an itch.
- Complacency will yield to a distraction without even knowing it has.
- Surprise is a magician pulling a dog out of a rabbit’s hat.
- Without direction, subconscious thinking becomes an accident.
- Delight comes from not having to wait any longer.
- If we understand that God is supplying our needs, we can delight in him because we don’t have to wait any longer.
- Intentional distractions are willful detours from what we know we should be doing.
Questions for Further Thought
- What might your checkbook and credit card statements say about what you value most?
- What will you say to the first person you meet in Heaven?
