And sometimes I'll ask "Could You wait just a little longer until after I get married and have my sweet babies?". But He shows me how selfish that is. He knows how much I want to have a precious love story and a beautiful wedding. He knows how much I want to decorate my first home and fill it with sweet children. And I know Jesus's coming means that won't happen.
But Jesus's coming also means that I will be with Him forever. So my resistance to His coming shows a problem in my heart. And raises a question I have to answer: Would I be satisfied if he was all I had?
He is so much greater than anything I could have here. So I have to leave it all to His timing and trust Him. And when I meditate upon and read what the Word has to say about Heaven and eternity with Him I find myself beginning to think "Come, Lord Jesus. Come when it is Your Father's will for you to. It was never my decision anyway.'.
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is,seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
~Colossians 3:2~
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
~ 1 Corinthians 13: 8-12~
