Imagine with me, that wonderful day.
We find ourselves home in heaven. We are more alive than we have ever been here. Our eternal purpose and destiny of intimacy with God is finally fulfilled. We are home.
Our pain is gone.
Our tears wiped away.
We cannot die.
We don’t hunger or tire.
We can’t sin.
All evil is vanquished.
All we know is perfect love and fellowship with each other.
And, stationed beautifully at the center of our attention is the holy and exalted Lord Jesus. We are drawn into his light and our hearts are filled with and thrilled by His presence.
And then, only then, are our pilgrim hearts settled.
Yes, Friends everywhere. Even the one that didn’t want to be our friends. Remember Will, “You’re Not My Friend!” Remember those words. I do! The hurt went deep, the sting lasted a long time. I’ve been stung by bees before, but nothing prepared me for this, especially after two of my friends passed away in Austin. And then a month later, my life long friend passed away. You knew her, she was the one that boldly spoke out against the wrong at ACF!
Yes, Friends everywhere!
