Every year that goes by is a reminder to me that eternity lies before me. Every year I realize more and more that I was born to prepare for death. Every I am reminded that "Heaven is my home."
What about you? Are the things of this world pulling you away from these truths? Is there anything in your life that is more important, or that you need to achieve before you die? For those who love the Lord the answer is simply, "No."
When I surrendered my life in 1992 to the Lordship of Christ I would tell my girls "I am ready to go home, to heaven." They would get a little 'ticked' at me and say "That is selfish, we need you." But after all of these years walking and growing in the Lord, I believe they would look up when its all been said and done and say "He finally made it, He's Home."
I would love to be here for my grandchildren, I would love to be on the mission field, I would love to grow even older with my wife (my best friend) and keep sharing in ministry with her, I would love to experience and see the youth I teach weekly finally make the true comittment in their lives to follow Christ 100%. All of this crosses me mind for a second and then.....Well you know the answer by now.
May the Lord bless each and everyone of you as you now begin to prepare for death. It will come, and no one knows when. Heaven is my Home~
