Patience Set on Above.

Today, I met with Lupe for discipleship, praise the Lord for blessing me with the opportunity to disciple her. It's such a blessing to see how hungry she is for the Word and I am encouraged by the things she shares with me. During the lesson, we came across a passage and I was hit with a handful of emotions.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

- Philippians 3:20-21

It was very comforting to hear that as a believer, heaven is my home and that when Christ returns, all believers will be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ! I got very excited, I'm sure Lupe could tell through my body language. (I probably get that from my brother) Every time I think about the return of Christ, I end up daydreaming about what it will be like in heaven worshiping Christ, sinless. O for that day when we'll sing with the angels Hallelujah, oh Ancient of Days, when we will have our Messiah forever, offering glory and honor and praise.

  

However, there is a reason why Christ hasn't returned yet, and it is because there is still work to do here on earth. And as slaves we are to faithfully serve Him and wait patiently til His second coming.
