an oxymoron. an axious peace. knowing you are leaving something that shaped you behind for awhile. going toward a place that shaped you first, before you ever knew this place.
realizing home is more of a feeling than a place. realizing we will never be home until we are united with our creator in heaven after we disappear from this world. our journey here will only be a testimony of HIS faithfulness. no longer concerned about our anxiousness of what was up the road a little ways. no longer searching for the peace to satisfy for the moment.
I can't wait for that day.
to be so free that the only feelings we can help but feel are immeasurable joy, satisfying love, and complete peace.
what a day that will be.
why not live like that day is already here? y'all... eternity starts now.
Jesus has told death it has no power, that sin will not win the fight within us, because the Holy Spirit resides in our souls, working through and for us, interceding on our behalf. when you have been born again, through God's Word and being baptized, you are living on the other side of eternity already. your time line will never end. why try to prove yourself before your last day here when you have 10,000 x 10,000 x 10,000 years to go. years that will be free from fear. free from hurt. free from wondering. fully sure, fully satisfied, and fully filled with who your creator intended you to be. be here now. live as if you are amidst eternity, because you are. stop waiting, stop preparing, stop expecting, you are meant to be here now. to live and love boldly. because you are loved fiercely by the God of the universe. who gave you everything. along with Jesus' death, you also inherited his resurrection. the salvation that HE earned. allowing us to know our heavenly father deeply and intimately. so step forward in confidence knowing he will not withhold any essential thing from you. you are exactly who he wants you to be. so deny yourself. show others how loved they are by the King of the world so that they too can rest knowing they have all they need for the most important journey...eternity, which starts now.
