P
I have been thinking about this a lot of late. My morning reading seems to stay on my mind most of the day and that is a good thing. I simply am not content with where I am. I love life and I love what God allows me to have and the many blessings and benefits He bestows on me daily, but it doesn't satisfy me.
I still must concern myself with carnal things, paying the utilities, making vehicle repairs, putting food on the table...those sort of things. Here is an old song that is on my mind a lot.
What Will It Be To Be There
Indeed, what will it be to be there?
Now don't turn this into a suicide "yes or no" thread, because that isn't it at all. However, I am ready to go. I no longer want to live on this earth. God has something marvelous awaiting for me.
I have done some fun things on this earth, had some exhilarating and exciting times, loved and been loved, and had some great experiences. But God said I cannot imagine what wondrous things lie ahead. I am obedient to His word, I love Him more than anything, and I have repented. My future is secure as I sit here and there is nothing that is on this earth that draws me to it.
What will it be to be there? I can't imagine, but I can find out. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

What Will It Be To Be There
- There’s a city of gold in that land far away,
With its streets and its buildings so rare;
With its glories untold, in its bright, golden ray,
Oh, what will it be to be there?- Refrain:
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While eternity prolong;
All the saints in heaven’s kingdom
Singing one celestial song.
- Refrain:
- In the city of love, in that land far above,
Where the saints, all immortal and fair,
Are uniting their voices in anthems of love,
Oh, what will it be to be there? - In that city above there’s a mansion for me,
Which my Savior has gone to prepare;
With the angels in heaven my soul soon shall be,
Oh, what will it be to be there? - Oh, the Lamb is the light of that heavenly home,
And they need not the sunbeams so fair;
There the darkness and shadows of night never come,
Oh, what will it be to be there?
Indeed, what will it be to be there?
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
What will it be to be there? I can't imagine, but I can find out. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
