“At night my soul longs to be with you, and the spirit in me wants to be with you at the dawn of every new day. When your way of justice comes to the world, people will learn the right way of living.” Isaiah 26:9 ERV
Desire to be with God (not just knowing Him)
We live in a very busy and chaotic world and sometimes we forgot that the existence of a Higher being. We are consumed with our daily chores and hectic to do list. The demands of life sometimes overwhelmed us as we succumb to an enormous responsibilities of being human and the fast pace existence draw us to more countless demands of life and we eventually forgot that there is such a person called God.
A 90+ years old very healthy grandfather once asked by his grandson “Grandpa, why do you move so slow? Grandpa responded, I’m not not going anywhere so there’s no need to rush.” When we are almost finished living in this world, we sometimes think that there is nothing more for us. Kids are successful, there is roof above my head and food in the table and I am living comfortably on my pre-departure phase. I’m just waiting for my time of departure and I’ll be forever gone from this world. Imagine if the Bible did not mention eternity. Imagine if we all just perish at the end of our tenure here on earth. We don’t really know for sure what it’s like after this life but I’d rather be believing that I will be in paradise when I leave earth than imagining that I will be forever gone.
I will always have a desire to be with God… one day. It makes my journey here on earth more interesting and lively and I can face death with great expectation than anything else.
