When was the last time you yearned for the Lord's salvation? I know we are already saved the moment we put our faith in Christ. What I am referring to is the completion of our salvation--that day when we will stand in the golden streets of heaven and finally see God face to face. When was the last time you really longed to be with God in heaven?
I have to admit, I have been very comfortable with this life and this world that I have not been thinking about going to heaven much. The world has a way of making me forget that I am a citizen of heaven and not of this world. I have been pre-occupied with planning for my future here, building a house, having a successful career, a wife, my own family… But nothing more after that. I'm not even sure if I'm going to live long enough to have all those. What is definitely sure is that I'm going to die one day and be with God in heaven and yet that's the very thing I don’t often mind.
Why am I not excited about going to heaven anymore? It could be for the following reasons:
- I'm too busy trying to gain as much as I can out of this world
- My love for Lord is dying out, thus, I don’t long to see Him
- I'm too comfortable and don’t experience any form of difficulties because I'm not serving the Lord at all
- I don't believe God has better things to show me there
Lord, please help me fall in love with you again. Help me to have a deep longing for you and your salvation. Do not let me be content with what I am now, where I am now and what I have now. I know everything here on earth will pass away and will never completely satisfy. Make me yearn for You and your heaven. Amen.
