Dreaming of Home

Do you ever day-dream about the moment when you will encounter Jesus face to face?

I often think of what the world would be like if Adam and Eve hadn't sinned in the garden. Imagine: no sickness, no pain, no injury, no death. That means no flu, cancer, or epilepsy; no headaches, appendicitis, or arthritis; no broken bones, never having to tell someone goodbye that you love more than life itself. There would be no job loss, no divorce, no prodigal children.

Our world is broken, but God did not create it this way. He did not intend for us to die, to suffer physically, to hurt emotionally. He meant for us to have a face-to-face daily communion in His brilliant presence. He made us, and the entire earth as well, in goodness and beauty, without sin.

In wonder, I considered a beautiful world where only love, truth and beauty live. And I realized, I was dreaming of home.

In Him,
Dalinda
