Real Life, Real Family

From February, 1998

God Himself raises His children.  Christ gives us the Holy Spirit, who is God - not a nanny.  The Spirit teaches us all things.  

When the full number of God's children are brought into the Kingdom, we will be a real family; God's family.  What will it be like when God brings us home; when Christ comes for those he has purchased?

The true delight in something purchased is realized after it is brought home.  What we think of as our end is the beginning of the fullness of life with God as He intended it to be from the beginning.  The table has been set, the rolls are in the oven.  We all wait for the Almighty to ring the dinner bell.  I wonder what life will be like.  I think it will be more exciting and active and challenging (in terms of fathoming all of God) than I can imagine.

Christ and His bride wait eagerly to be settled in their home.  My heart rejoices!

Thank You, Jesus, for me real life.  I trust, Holy Spirit, that you will take me home.
