As many years as I have known the Lord I would have to say it this way....I am so looking forward to finally seeing Him without the hinderances we have in our earthly life. He is the love of my life.
You see it’s rather like a wife greeting her husband after he has been away so to speak. Though she has been occupied and doing work while he is gone...she anticipates his return....the longer he is away the stronger the desire to see Him again. Though you stay in contact through communicating you just want so much to be together. So it is a longing for the Lord one has within themselves. “ a heart panting after God” as is written...the more you get to know Him the more you want to know and love Him.
I am ready to go any time He wants me to go....but not until all who want to come to Him have done so, which is the only reason He hasn’t come for us so far. There are people He is still drawing to Himself and we don’t know when that will cease.
That's exactly how I feel.
Sometimes I get a 'euphoric feeling', for lack of a better description', when I see an obit of someone I knew of from way back when. Not a jealous feeling but close. I guess that's wrong.
INDEED, INDEED.
