That indefinable longing you feel? Maybe you're homesick for heaven

Homesick for heaven

If you've ever felt out of place here, there's a very simple explanation: You're homesick for heaven.

We singles can feel it more than married folks. We know the disappointment of a life that's incomplete, not because we don't have a spouse, but because we ache for the perfect love that can't be found here.

There's an inadequacy. As rewarding as jobs, friendships, family and special interests may be, they can never fill the need. We're homesick for heaven.

Where you left a piece of your heart

Part of us stayed with the God who breathed us into being. We're creatures of this world, but we're homesick for heaven.

You know the feeling. It catches in your throat on a gorgeous spring day. It pours out in your tears when you wonder if you'll ever get back. It explodes in your soul when your prayers are answered.

You're a foreigner here and you know it. As smooth and natural as it feels when life is going right, there's an inescapable tug in the back of your mind. This is not as good as it gets.

What can we do?

How can you be happy here when you're homesick for heaven? How can you go on for another 30, 50 or 70 years when you wish you were someplace else?

The timing is not ours. We have work to do. We have to carry out our assignments, even when we don't know how long they'll take. We have a duty to Him.

Some days we're more there than we are here. Our heart's not in this, but only He can say when we're ready to go.

Time only seems long

Time is deceptive. Your time here seems long when you're homesick for heaven. Things seem to come slowly here, but it's like the blink of an eye to the time--eternity--you'll spend there, with Him.

You've been made right with Him. Not because of yourself, but because of the Gift He gave you. You can wake up every morning laughing, knowing that it's just a matter of time. He's got you, and you've got Him.

Then you're ready for another day, because you know the anticipation is part of the Gift. So you try to help others accept their gift, and that's the greatest joy you can have here.

It eases the ache because you know where you're going. You thank Him a dozen times a day. Some day your heart will be one with His again. It's just a matter of time.

Love is a Click Away



Huh? You mean heaven can start right now?

Click for details about Single & Sure. Your eternal life starts here and now, but are you just schlepping along, missing out on the best that God offers you?

Single & Sure, my new ebook, shows you how to grab onto God's love for you and run with it--into a happy, confident life. In a sense, this book took 40 years to write, because it reveals the hard-won lessons I've learned about how to live the Christian life for all its worth.

You'll discover how to avoid unnecessary grief and heartache, how to build your self-esteem, how to conquer worry and money problems, and how to start experiencing real joy right now, instead of waiting until you get to heaven.
