Can't Wait to Go Home
I've heard some people say that they are happy here on Earth. I've heard christians say that they are in no rush for Christ to come back and they are enjoying life. Well I'm just going to go on from my point of view on this because to me this doesn't make much sense to me. To me this world is not very fun, yet there are fun things to do as well. I suppose it could go both ways but there is one way I prefer above all. For myself I cannot wait till Christ comes back, and it's almost to the point of being impatient about it! Honestly I do not enjoy this world much, but I still enjoy being with friends, my wife and visiting places on Earth. Yes I'd love to see Disney World, I really want to see New York and I want to see Hollywood as well. There are things in this world I will not deny are fun and spectacular but compared to heaven and Christ honestly I cannot wait for his arrival. I'm tired of the lust I struggle with in my life, I'm tired of being seperated from God and I am just tired of fighting with others over petty issues. I am tired of disease, I am tired of trying to deal with anger issues and other issues in my life that are actually taking away my life. I realize I have all these problems, sickness', and struggles, and I know I am human. I mess up time and time again and I am tired of living this type of life. Now this sounds completely depressing yes, but think of it this way ok? Once I am in heaven all the junk going on in my life is GONE!!! Think about it, with satan out of the picture who is there to tempt us? All of our struggles are a result of temptation and our human nature and satan prodding at us. When satan is gone and is in the lake of fire, the people of heaven will no longer struggle. No more fighting, no disease and we will no longer have to beat ourselves up because we missed the mark. I am not saying we need to beat ourselves up now for our imperfections. What I am getting at here is right now when we mess up we want to cower and hide. We want to run from God, yet at the same time seek his presence and seek his forgivness and approval. We run, yet we want to know he is there for us, we keep asking forgivness pleading with him. We keep thinking we will land up in hell or we do not deserve anything. Well I got great news for the people who have accepted Christ, when he comes back none of this will matter anymore. That is why I cannot wait for his arrival and why I do not enjoy this world much. I would give up everything just to enter heaven, because God is my all in all. I struggle everyday wanting that amazing relationship with him. Think of how right now how great it feels to be in his presence. Doesn't it feel great? Think, entering his presence now which feels great is only a fraction of what it will be like in heaven. We are seperated right now and we cannot enter into his full glory at this moment. When Christ comes back man that feeling is going to be intensified by numbers I cannot even think of right now. So this is the reason why this planet to me right now is not my focus or my joy. Yes I enjoy life but at the same time I honestly can't wait for Christ's return.
