The last
day at the beach. {HUGE sigh}. Seriously, I think God implants in each
of us a pang of longing. And on vacations, especially those full of
family & friends, and the beauty of nature (mountains, the ocean,
etc), that deep ache is felt more keenly. The vacation itself doesn't
fulfill. After all, the vacation comes to an end. But it does hint at
what will ultimately fulfill: eternity with Jesus in Heaven.
Won't -THAT- be a day? When all the burdens of sin, sickness, weakness, and age...all fall away. When we finally are all we were ever meant to be. When we meet Jesus face-to-face, walk and talk with Him. When we are together with family and friends to whom we will never have to say goodbye? When the passage of time is irrelevant and there is no longer any fear or sorrow? Won't -THAT- be a day?
