Waiting on some friends to arrive that are like family got me thinking. I wanted the friends to arrive. I thought they would be here around 9 PM. Then they text me to let me know they'd be arriving around 9:30 PM and then they were later than they thought. Some unforeseen things came up, so they were delayed. So I waited, but while I waited I began to think about how Jesus is sitting at the right hand of Father God waiting for us to arrive. We all have a scheduled meeting time with Daddy God. Until each one of us arrives He is waiting. Not one of us can take another's place. Jesus probably finds it difficult with each passing day to wait for our arrival. Just like Jesus I prepared a place for my friends to rest. We got some extra food for everyone and made sure the beds were ready for our weary travelers. Then I just waited. Waiting is hard but the reunion is so sweet.
John 14:2 (KJV) " My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?"
Jesus is waiting for us. Jesus wants to be with you and I forever. God desires to spend eternity with us. Jesus paid the price for our sins just so we could be with Him.
When my friends arrived all that mattered is that they were there. The smiles upon all of our faces told the story that the wait was worth it all. So now for the next few days we will celebrate doing life together. Then they will leave and return to their home, their jobs and the people they do life with. They will be gone. Once again we will be separated. The wonderful thing about Heaven is we will be together forever--we will be home.
I will see you soon my friend and there will be no more good-byes. Heaven will be....well....heaven.
