I am homesick...homesick for Heaven. I want my Jesus to come back so that I can be with Him...forever...in a place where there are no tears, no trials, no pain, no struggles, just love. Never ending, unconditional Love. I look at my own pain and my friends' pain (which often hurts me more than my own pain does) and I long for Heaven. I long for the day when we can sit together around His throne, singing His praises for eternity with absolutely nothing to come between us and Him. When will that day come?! I wish I knew, and I wish it was soon. I am growing wearing of having our faith tested and I am ready for it to become sight.
...but then I think of all of those who don't know Him yet. Those who have absolutely nothing to look forward to when He comes back. Those people aren't just strangers. They are my friends. They are my family. How can I ask Him to come back so that I can at last taste the perfection of Heaven, when I know what awaits them if He comes now? I cannot be that selfish! I will wait, patiently but expectantly, for Him to come back when He knows the time is right for Him to do so.
Lord, give me strength as I wait for You, and use me in whatever way You wish in order to bring others to know you, so that when You do come back, as many as possible will go Home with us.
"I wait for the lord, my soul waits, and in His word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning." Psalm 130:5-6

My precious Lindsay, your sweet Aunt Angie will be eternally blessed by your patience and your prayers.
I love you, and I am proud of who you are...
So many times I have this feeling! SO MANY!!! And especially over the past several months I've been right there with you. So know you are not alone. Sometimes it seems like things would just be so much easier if He would hurry up and come back and end all of the hurt and heartache. But I think He doesn't for many reasons.
You are so right, there are those out there who have never even heard His name and don't realize what it will be like when He does come back for us. I like big parties and celebrations and I want to have as many people in Heaven with us. I want to help bring God's children home.
When we are weary, it's easy to want it all to come to an end. But through our times of trials, we become stronger and better people by knowing what the Lord is doing in us.
I love you my friend!
