Begin with the truth
They don't happen in my time, but they do happen, and they happen to the glory of God, and they happen his way and in his time. I am convinced that God is working a great, many beautiful things, wonderful things, helpful things, righteous things into your life and into mine that happen in his time.
And when we live by faith and we look for that timing, and our eyes are open to his beauty, it will reveal itself to us.
What this reveals about God
In eternity, all of the limitations, all of the handicaps, all of the struggles will be laid aside, and in God's great eternal time, their purity today will live on in spiritual, eternal, blessed, and fully capable minds and bodies. I love them, but tonight, standing there singing that beautiful hymn with them, I felt like I needed them.
I needed to see this, to feel this, to appreciate the beauty of what God has put in and around my life in its most holy and pure form.
Let faith take root
There are things in your life that are not yet beautiful in the sight of the Lord, not like he wants them to be, but they will be, and they will be in this lifetime. Maybe it's a marriage that's had some problems, and you're saying, God, this is not the blessing that it could be.
And God is saying, in my time and in your life, and maybe even in the near future, we can truly make this great again.
Respond in daily life
Yes, it may also be and is while we are alive here, but it most absolutely will be in the greatest of incomprehensible degree when we shed this body and we see the spiritual world and an eternity with God. I was thinking that sitting there next to my two friends, thinking, they're so happy right now, and I'm happy with them, and they have no idea.
None of us in this room right now even understand what is coming and how God is going to make all of these relationships, even family relationships and marriage relationships and brothers and sisters in Christ.
Take the idea with you.
