Now Is Not Forever
August 10, 2010

Think about how good it will feel when it stops hurting,” said my father. I received this advice from Dad often while I was growing up, usually after some minor bump or scrape had resulted in a major dramatic reaction. At the time, the advice didn’t help. I was incapable of focusing on anything other than my pain, and loud wails accompanied by buckets of tears seemed the only appropriate response.

Through the years, however, Dad’s advice has pulled me through some truly miserable situations. Whether it was the pain of a broken heart or the misery of a drawn-out illness, I would remind myself: Now is not forever.

The confidence we have as Christians is that God has something good planned for us. Suffering was not part of His original act of creation, but it serves as a temporary reminder of what happens in a world where God’s order has been broken. It also motivates us to spread the word about God’s plan to redeem the world from the suffering caused by sin.

Although we cannot avoid pain and disappointment (John 16:33), we know that it’s only temporary. Some sorrow will be relieved in this life, but all of it will be relieved when God finally and firmly establishes His new heaven and new earth (Rev. 21:1). Now is not forever.

We’ll catch the broken thread again,
And finish what we here began;
Heaven will the mysteries explain,
And then, ah, then, we’ll understand. —Cornelius

The gains of heaven will more than compensate for the losses of earth.

Read: Revelation 21:1-5

There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. —Revelation 21:4

Bible in a year:
Psalms 79-80; Romans 11:1-18

Happy Tuesday!

Hi Everyone!
I am back from My Road Trip, And Promised to Tell of My Adventures!
Well, First of All, The Ride North on the first Day was 200 MILES of tropical Storms, Thunder Lightening and RAIN. It took 7 hours for a 4 hour trip. All our luggage, clothing, equipment, electronics, and papers were SOAKED. We Spent the First night in Orlando just drying everything out and doing laundry.

Ah The Joys of Biking!

We Went To Medieval Times For Our Anniversary, Since we are in our Middle Ages.

I also got to fly a Helicopter solo, which was considerably LESS dangerous than the ride up to Orlando.

Amy, I’m so sorry you ran into such a long delay in your departure.....but THANKFUL that you had a safe journey, once you were able to board the train!

It is a shame that Marissa didn’t get to watch the scenery flashing by, as she would have, if you had been able to leave in daylight.

I had a dental appointment yesterday, which included four hours of travel. Today is a new, fresh day, and I am looking forward to just RELAXING!

Continue to have fun, and build some wonderful memories!
