do you ever long for heaven so much that you can hardly contain the thought of waiting? i was just reading God's Word and was struck with the sinfulness of my own heart. Psalm 73:25-26 says "Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." i love these verses because my flesh and my heart fail all the time. it's such a comfort knowing that the Lord is my strength.... but i'm still sick of my sin. Philippians 1:21 comes to mind... "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." i know the Lord is in control and will never give me too much to handle (1 Cor. 10:13), but i just want to be in heaven with Him right now. i want to praise Him forever and not have to struggle with my sinful flesh. yet, i am learning patience and trust in Him as "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" Philippians 3:14. God is good ALL the time!
