How wonderful it must be to be an angel and sing God’s praises all day every day in Heaven! It is a place where no sun or moon are needed because the Lamb of God is the Light of that beautiful city, and there is no more suffering or pain for the former things will have passed away. Jesus will dry every tear from our eyes. I long to go there one day. My mom and dad are there and I want to be reunited with them and to especially see my wonderful Savior who gave His life for me.

Until that day that He dries all my tears, I have to try to make sense of this world that is not my home. So much suffering. So much heartache. I find comfort on so many days in the arms of my Savior, knowing He is working a bigger purpose in my life. He has me here for a reason. I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a Sunday School teacher, a friend, a servant—His hands and feet for a dying world. Many times I feel that I am a drain rather than a fountain, many days I need encouragement myself rather than being able to offer it to others. Still He loves me, and despite my shortcomings, every day He gives me new opportunities to serve Him, to have second, and third, and one hundredth chances to make the right choices, to make a difference—to dust myself off and start over again.

Jesus understands our struggles. There is nothing that we can ever face here on earth that He is not familiar with. He was fully man and He experienced all the joy and laughter that is ours, but He was also a man of sorrows and experienced pain, grief, sadness, and heartache to a degree that we cannot comprehend. He knows what we are going through today, what we experienced in our past and what we will face in the future. He holds us through the long, dark nights and carries our burdens when they are too heavy for us to bear. He prays for us when we cannot pray for ourselves. He wants us to quit fighting a fight that He has already won. He is there for us.

And it does not stop there. He loved us so much that He died an agonizing death to pay the price for our sins and set us free, making a way for us to live with Him forever in Heaven one day. CS Lewis once said, “The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God.”

I have an understanding with Jesus, one that the angels cannot fully grasp. We have history. We have a deep love relationship born through heartache, trust and relationship that can only be shared one-on-one with the Savior.

As His children who have accepted Him as their Savior, when we get to Heaven, we can sing a new song, a song of redemption that will praise Him for understanding and saving our weary souls from all the pain and suffering. For finding us when we were lost, for giving us eyes to see and granting us the freedom that could only come from shedding His blood for us. For humbling Himself to become like us, to bring us righteousness that could only come because He reached out to us. He broke all our chains and delivered us. Yes, we can sing the song that the angels cannot sing … the song of the redeemed.

Dear Lord: Thank You for your unspeakable love for us and for sending Your Son Jesus to die for our sins. May we never get over this precious gift of love and redemption. Jesus came, not to make bad people good, but to make dead people live. When Jesus hung and bled and died, You were saying, “I love you” to the world. Wow, what incomprehensible love You have for us. We are so unworthy of this gift, but we sure are thankful for it. Let us never grow tired in serving the One who gave His all for us. Amen

In him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7

You have taken up my cause, O Lord; you have redeemed my life.  Lamentations 3:58

If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, there is no better day than today to give your life to Him. You don’t have to face your burdens alone. He is there longing to help you, to hold you, to heal you. Please reach out to me by private message or someone else who would love to lead you to the Lord for His precious gift of love and redemption. You will never be sorry that you did.
