I had the craziest dream last night. One of those dreams that when you wake up you just need to go back to sleep to finish it! It was action and adventure and love and sacrifice, every component a good story must have. When I woke up to the real world, I felt cheated. All my loved ones where in my dream, all in one physical place at the same time, pursuing the same adventure. We were all together.
To help me deal with heartache and separation (past and future), God has made heaven more and more tangible to me as years go by. He has made me realize that someday I will be together with everyone I love and that when that happens it will be for eternity. A quote that always reminds me of this is one used by the Pastor of City Church: “True faith means holding nothing back; it bets everything on the hope of eternity.”
I am betting my life and my heart on the hope of eternity. God knows this and He respects it by helping me stay in perspective. He reminds me that:
"Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely." (The Message translation of I Corinthians 13:12)
