Who Is Waiting For You

 

Who Is Waiting For You

¹ “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God believe also in me. ² In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. ⁴ And you know the way to where I am going.” (John 14:1-7 ESV®)

   There was a period when my Bride was confined to a Rehab Facility for six weeks. She missed her loving dog and found that the facility allowed dogs to visit. This gave me the task of bringing Ashlea, my Bride’s schnauzer, for a visit. Since home was between my work place and the rehab facility, this was looking like an easy task.

   I picked up Ashlea and headed for a visit with my Bride. Ashlea jumped out of the car since taking walks was high on her list o likes. Once the sliding doors opened, she took one whiff and locked her legs. I think her little brain was registering “VETS.” I picked her up and I could feel her trembling. I walked down to my Bride’s room and as soon as Ashlea heard her master’s voice, she was excited with joy.

   During my Bride’s stay in the rehab facility, most evenings I would bring Ashlea to visit her favorite person. Now when the sliding doors opened, she was eager to enter. The smell did not change but Ashlea now knew who was waiting for her on the other side.

   I have had the same reaction the first time I got the bad news about having cancer. The doctor was not gentle about a possible gloomy outcome. I had not given much thought to what was on the other side after the known reality I knew. I figuratively locked by legs. The little I knew about the future confused me because my brain created imagines of things that terrified me. Between having a pastor close and habits of taking daily trips into the Holy Word, I came across passages that were reassuring. The God who truly loved me had already taken care of my future. The Bible reassured me that even if I don’t know for sure what is on the other side of those sliding doors, I know who is waiting there for me, Jesus

    What voice will you hear when the sliding doors open?

      

A quick prayer - Just to know You and To make You known ^[1]
