In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have
told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me
that you also may be where I am. John 14:2-3 NIV
I can think of no greater Scripture to end this series on God's promises,
than that Christ is coming back again! Praise God, it will be worth it
all in the end.
Recently a lady wrote me with her problems. Believe me she has a bunch. Much of
what she is struggling with may be the result of sin in her life and in
the lives of those around her. Her pain was so deep I could almost
literally see the tears flowing through the email. This particular day I
was having a bad day myself. I didn't have a really good reason to be
discouraged that day, I just was. Some days are like that aren't they?
This lady was almost at the point of taking her own life. (I wish I
could tell you this was unusual, but I hear it almost on a weekly basis
from people.) There was a point in my response where I was almost
tempted to write "Go for it! I can't offer you anything else."
I'm sorry if that disappoints you. It was just a fleeing
thought, driven out of my own self-inflicted pity party. I didn't write
it. Instead, I poured my heart into the reply, trying to help her make
sense of her situation, and to lean on God for the answers.
What keeps us all from just "checking out" of this world? What allows us to
go on, even when we are so tired, so overwhelmed, so perplexed with our
trials? I don't know what works for you, but knowing that my Redeemer
will one day return to take me home usually lifts my spirit. When I
think that it will all be over someday, that Victory belongs to God and
His children, and that I will spend eternity in Heaven, where there will
be no more pain, no more suffering and no more heartache, and that my
God is working all things for good, I can face tomorrow! Because He
lives, and because He is coming again, my life has purpose!
As Jesus works on my mansion in Gloryland, God is preparing to send Him to
get His people. "What a day that will be, when my Jesus I will see, when
He takes me by the hand, and leads me to the Promise Land! What a day,
glorious day, that will be!"
Dear God, thank you for your promises, but, even still, come Lord Jesus!
Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready?
