How many times have we heard our children say “Are we there yet?”
Or we’ve said it ourselves!
Sometimes it feels as if we will never get to our destination.
We can feel that way about heaven as well. We deal with the drudgery, sorrow, pain and sin in this world, and wonder if Jesus is coming back in our life time. Will it be soon?
It may be that you are dealing with a serious or terminal illness that has racked your body with pain, or that someone you love dearly has already “gone home” and life is empty without them.
You are so tired---tired of the fight, tired of the pain, tired of being alone. Tired of living life as you now know it.
While there is a time for everything, as stated in Ecclesiastes, we can’t and shouldn’t want to rush God’s timetable as to when Jesus will return and take us to heaven...
