As a believer in Christ Jesus I have a longing to be with HIM. I long to go HOME. HOME where HE is, where there is no more sickness, no more worry, no more trials or temptations. To be fully surrounded by HIS love for me, to grasp what HE has done for me, to worship HIM in all HIS beauty and splendor.
The toil and trouble life brings gives us a choice to run to HIM and fall at HIS feet and wait on HIM or to run and try to fix things independently. The first choice is hard, it takes the control away from me...but do I really have control in the first place? Running to Jesus makes that longing all the more intense...this earth really isn't my home...but it is my opportunity to point people to Jesus in spite of "everything". So at HIS feet I humbly kneel, feeling battered, bruised and defeated. But having full knowledge that one day HE will win the victory.
So as I sit here longing for Jesus, I know that HE is here with me right now. And praying and trusting HIM is the most powerful way to bring healing, hope and wholeness to those in need, to those I love and to situations totally out of my control.
