The stark reality of it all is that nothing that I'm doing now is going to matter in the context of eternity. One day, the things of this world are going to seem like pure foolishness. It won't matter what kind of car that I drove or how big my house was. My career choice and salary will be distant memories. Even the friendships that I've made will pale in comparison for what's to come.
One day, I will be in heaven before the throne of our very Creator in awe of His beauty and His majesty. The suffering and the persecution, the hardships and pains of this world...none of it will matter anymore because I'll be in God's presence. My mind is having a hard time grasping the context of eternity but let me tell you, it's a beautiful picture. All believers past, present, and future will be praising our God! Sin will cease to exist and it'll be God and us, just like the original intent.
I don't want to say that I'm apathetic to what's going on but things that once felt so important suddenly don't matter as much as they used to. For once, I feel that my heart is truly at peace and in full acknowledgment that God is in control and that His will will be done. I used to be so anxious about what was to come. Sometimes I would think to God "Man, can't you just tell me what's going to happen? I really want to know and I want to know now!". We know God to be faithful and God's promise is crystal clear to believers. Whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. What a joy it is to be able to say that in confidence, not in my flesh but in God's character.
Hillsong - Soon
Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him, I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
I'll be going to the place He has prepared for me
Then my sin erased, my shame forgotten
Soon and very soon
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders round the thrown
At His feet I lay
My cries, my worship
Soon and very soon
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lord of heaven
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
