Heaven. We are closer today
than we were yesterday and tomorrow will bring us closer than we are today.
But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore
God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Hebrews 11:16
That’s me. Quite often, I
too, find myself desiring a better, heavenly country. One free of pain and
sorrow, one free of sickness, violence, and death. To physically be where the
Lord is, well that would just be the bee’s knees wouldn’t it?
But although we are not yet physically where God is, He is most certainly where we are. Thank
the Lord for that! He is with us! In every trial, in every breaking headline,
in every situation and circumstance, God is here with us. Immanuel.
God brings us His peace and
His comforts. He wraps us in His love in magnificent ways. The laughter of a
child, the understanding of a friend. The gold and silver of daybreak, the
burst of color just before sunset. All of these are tangible gifts of God’s
presence.
Everyday He gives us a taste
of our heavenly country and whispers softly to our hearts, “The best is yet to
come!”
