The God of the Universe thinks about you. Not just once, not just every now and then, but several times a day. Let that thought stop you in your tracks today. Let it stun you. Let it fill you with wonder.
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. Psalm 139:1-4
And if he could send a postcard from Heaven, it would have your name and below that, “Wish you were here” or one I like even better…..”Can’t wait to see you ____” Fill in your own name there.
Just imagine how excited He must feel when He knows another of His children will get to see everything He has prepared……….It’s like that feeling when you buy someone you care about the perfect gift and you absolutely can’t wait until they open it.
God is ready. But He can’t show you quite yet He’s still preparing it, and you.
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. Jesus
Consider that today can be the first gift of your new life, open it. And don’t forget to thank Him, even if it’s only a pair of socks, cause socks from God are still a pretty neat gift, especially when you think that everyday from now on it just gets closer to the really Big Gift.
You know the one. Remember Christmas? You had all those little gifts, practical things like pajamas and sweaters? All along you had your eye on that BIG gift in the corner. And really, your parents did too.
They were saving the best for last.
So is He.
Awesome reminder that He’s preparing a heaven for me and you (and lots and lots more). I hope there will be some of those yellow flowers you snapped for your photo up there too!
Angie, I have a feeling there will be colors up there we have never dreamed of down here……thank you for commenting! Lori
Lovely. Isn’t that one of the fabulous things about finding a secluded, untouched place. You have a sense that maybe God prepared it just for you. That maybe noone else would ever see those flowers or those birds before they died, but you did.
Yes…..It seems very Holy to stumble on something like that. You almost don’t want to say anything, just breathe it in. Thank you for your comments!
