waiting..so impatiently..
my senior year, linda sent our small group a prgm called "morning and evening." it's a charles spurgeon devotional prgm.. i haven't used it until now.. and even now, very sporadically. some days though.. it's just amazing how much He loves me. this was what i got from today's..
when i say that i'm tired and i want to go Home, i'm not fulfilling my duty here. when it's time, God will take me Home. until then, i'm supposed to wait patiently. waiting means i don't sigh petulantly, wanting to die because i am tired of work or wish to escape from my present sufferings. waiting doesn't mean sitting on my ass doing nothing and twiddling my thumbs. that's what results in the restlessness, the wanting to die b/c i feel like nothing is keeping me here. waiting means that i get ready for when the Lord comes. "we are to stand at the door expecting the Beloved to open it and take us away to Himself...the man who sighs after God, who is uneasy till he is made like Christ, that is the blessed man."
there's a difference between yearning to go Home and yearning to die quickly to get out of actually being a Christian. me, i'm just trying to take the easy way out.
Lord, i am desperately clinging to Your promise...
