LIFE is
THE WAITING GAME
with every
TICKING SECOND.
WAITING for the GOOD to come.
WAITING for the NOT~SO~GOOD to leave.
But then what is left.
Your SECOND right now.
And then GOD graciously gives you another
SECOND.
And HE never stops giving you another
SECOND,
even when you and I leave this
TEMPORARY WORLD.
This WORLD
is our
TEMPORARY HOUSING,
just like a
that is just like a
COCOON
for where we
WAIT,
for that SECOND
when
we won't be WAITING anymore~
"For this world is not our permanent home;
we are looking forward to a home yet to come" (Hebrews 13:14).
WAITING for our
FOREVER HOME~
“Look! GOD'S dwelling place is now among the people,
and HE will dwell with them. They will be HIS people,
and GOD HIMSELF will be with them and be their GOD.
HE will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away”
(Revelation 2-4).
So how do you WAIT out your breathing
SECONDS?
With an
EXPECTANT JOY
when you KNOW whose you are~
"See what an incredible quality of love the FATHER has shown to us, that we would [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of GOD!"*
So how do you WAIT out your breathing SECONDS?
With an
EXPECTANT HOPE~
"We know that when HE comes and is revealed,
we will [as HIS children] be like HIM,
because we will see HIM just as HE is [in all HIS glory]"*
So how do we WAIT out our breathing SECONDS?
Becoming just like HIM~
"And everyone who has this hope
[confidently placed] in HIM purifies himself,
just as HE is pure (holy, undefiled, guiltless)" *( John 3:1-3).
So how do you
LIVE LIKE HIM
while WAITING TO BE LIKE HIM?
You LIVE COCOONED IN HIM~
"I have been crucified with CHRIST. It is no longer I who live, but CHRIST who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by FAITH IN the SON OF GOD,
who loved me and gave HIMSELF for me" (Galatians 2:20).
Therefore,
look forward to
LIVING IN EVERY SECOND
with
EXPECTANT
JOY & HOPE
as you
ABIDE IN HIM~
"Now, little children (believers, dear ones),
remain in HIM [with unwavering faith],
so that when HE appears [at HIS return],
we may have [perfect] confidence and
not be ashamed and shrink away
from HIM at HIS coming" (I John 2:28).
TICK. TICK. TICK.
