Today marks 2 months that Brenda has been with Jesus. My pain is still very real, my emotions still come and go and I imagine they will for a long time, but I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him against that day. That day, the day when all things are completed, that day when the dead in Christ shall rise first and we who are alive and remain will be caught up together in the clouds and meet The Lord in the air and so we shall always be with The Lord, but until that day what should we do? I dont believe we should sit around and wait nor do I believe we should sit around and live in the past as great as that was. No Im convinced that scriptures tell us to occupy until He comes. Live life for Gods glory and His purpose all the while looking to that day. The Lord through the apostle Paul said that we are to set our minds on things above where Christ is. Some have said if I think about Heaven too much, Ill be of no earthly good. I believe as Christians sometimes we are so mindful of this life and the day to day getting through, that we forget this is not our home. I think if we are so earth bound at times we dont see what is unseen. What is seen according to scripture is temporary and what is unseen is eternal. I can see my home here we have lived in it for 18 years. What I dont see is Brenda in that home, but I know she is in that place where things dont wear out and where the very Life Giver Jesus Christ Himself resides. My heart is there and for now my life is here. I pray that my eyes are opened one of these moments so I can catch a glimpse of my home with Brenda there in that place called Heaven. Last thought, Elisha and his servant Gahazi were surrounded by their enemies, his servant ran in and told Elisha their situation. Elisha prayed and said Lord open his eyes that he may see that they that be with us, are more than they that be with them The Lord opened his servants eyes and on the hills that surrounded them were angels with flaming chariots and swords. Even though I cant see it with my natural eyes, I know Heaven is real, God is enthroned there, angels worship night and day before His throne and in the midst of all of it is Brenda doing what she was created to do... Worshipping her Redeemer face to face. Ill have to wait for that face to face, but until then, Ill worship and trust my Redeemer and know He loves me and holds my bride safely in His arms. Love you Babe until I see you again.
