The Dying Man
Wednesday, March 14, 2007
The old man closed his eyes for the last time. His family was sitting around him, crying. "Why are they crying," he thought, "they should be rejoicing; I am moving on." Suddenly, he took flight and the pain that had once racked through his body like a stabbing sword was gone. "I'm in heaven," he thought, "I have made it to heaven."
Oh, how I long to trade places with the dying man My heart aches for heaven. This world is so stupid and vile. People do not understand God; they blaspheme his name. They say that he is not real, that I am being stupid and ignorant for believing. But, down in my heart I feel this longing for something more, something better. Sure, you can temporarily satisfy it by doing something fun, watching something good, or getting something new. But you can never totally relieve that craving, the craving for heaven. God created us with this longing, and I am fully embracing it. Lord, I LONG for your paradise that you have created for me. I wish that I could get out of this life and move onto the next immediately. But, I know that the Lord has a purpose for my life, and if I live in his will and obey his word, this purpose WILL BE fulfilled. I can't wait until I move onto the next step. This life is but a moment, what's next is forever.
