It always hard coming back from vacation. If and when I make it to heaven, I think one of the things I will miss very little is that sense of disappointment that comes with arriving back at home. You know, when you show up at home, tired and you have no idea what to eat for dinner because everything in your fridge is either rotten or not there!
Only when we arrive in heaven will those small disappointments be gone. But can you imagine what it will be like to enter into the joy of heaven? Just think Peter, James and John had a small taste at the Transfiguration, which is the feast we celebrate on Monday. Let no one of us ever feel in despair or worry because of such disappointments, for when the Lord Jesus returns such things will never arise again.
In the meantime, we have only to overcome our own desires and self-centeredness. While each of us want many things for ourselves, let us strive to receive all that God allows to happen to us. For thus we follow in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ as he suffered upon the cross for love of you and me.
