Listen to My Heart

How I long for heaven!

I have not seen anything on this earth that can match the joy I can only imagine we will have, when we see that place where we dance among the new heavens, where no tears are shed and no pain is felt... in the twinkling of an eye, we will be in the place where unending bliss is just a glimpse of what is to come, and will never pass away..

How fleeting is the life of man on this earth! Where every emotion one may have felt no longer exists, and where every thought one may have thought will never come to be thought. It is a fleeting life this earth, a sinking ship, a star that is falling, awaiting its' doom while hopelessly burning through the night sky, shedding off its' own glory in marvelous light before its' tragic end.

How I long for heaven, the everlasting!

I have been to many funerals in my life, and still at least one more to come before my time is up here. And I have seen the tears racing down the cheeks of men, women and children, and shed them together with my loved ones... and no one, not a single soul on earth can say they have not felt the same pain and angst that comes with the cold, pale complexion that overtakes the vibrant soul we once called 'friend.' How fleeting this life is, how quick is its' end!

Oh Father, when will we learn? When will we see we were created for so much, yet we continue to settle for so little? We are so much more than refilling the day's rations of water and happiness, only to awake needing more of the same thing. Are we the hamster that runs in place atop a meaningless wheel? Oh when will we finally know that You are the source of eternity itself? For You are the Great Eternal One! The One who made us for joy and peace that is everlasting, all-satisfying, and never-ending. You are the Most High and Great Creator, who made us with a single Breathe, who tells the stars where they should go, the rivers to run over or run dry, the oceans to be still or rage on through the darkest of nights..

When will we know?
Will it be too late then?

God, I am just a man. Who am I that You give thought to me? I am just a whisper in the wind, a fleeting moment that passes by that only a few will notice. But I am a man that You have noticed, and that means the world to me, that means the world to me.

How I long for You my King, the One who put the earth in its' place, the One who brought me out of my own mire and breathed life into a lifeless body... the One who has given me visions and dreams of a better place than here, and a better time than now. You have given me hope, a hope I will soon never forget, and never regret. You have given me life, and a glimpse of what is to come. Like a fish out of the sea, I am jumping and jumping to be where I belong! Eternally with my Maker, my Father, My King, My God, My Jesus.. I love You, I love You, I love You. Listen to my heart Lord, You know that I do.
