Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these". - Matthew 19:14
"Mom, when will I get to see Jesus?" - he asked
I'm not sure, buddy - what I do know for sure is if we love Him; when we die we will be with Him in heaven, but if God decides it's time for Jesus to come back it may be sooner.
Really, only God knows.
His head sunk into cupped hands, and salty tears stained his cheeks.
Why are you crying sweetheart? - I asked
And from the bottom of his longing heart he replied - "because, that's a long time"
A response of childlike faith, and a heart that truly desires fellowship with our savior.
"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 18:3-4
God, through the working of the Holy Spirit who is living inside of me - convict me of pride and empower me to be humble. Implant the desire for intimate fellowship with You deep within my heart. May my heart be full of anticipation, ever ready for Jesus to return. And in the waiting help me to be faithful and obedient. Lead me, I lay myself down.
