"Good Bye" is one of the hardest phrases for a mother to say to her traveling children. "Good bye for now." Yet having just uttered those words yesterday, I was aware that one day, "Good bye" will be obsolete. When Heaven is our home, we will never be separated as we are here. On this earth, we live as individuals, bearing our own sin, living our own dreams, alone to a frightening degree. It is only with the advent of Jesus that we can begin to experience relationships that have a tinge of what God originally intended. That sense of being the person you were made to be, for the purpose of showing off how great God is and how much His love has affected one; this is what we hope for. To be with those we love without the self consciousness that causes one to focus inward instead of upward. To love without fear, without pain, without sin. That is our hope and that is what Heaven holds for us. And the Spirit of Jesus connects with our spirits to gently lead us to a union of sorts, where we are never alone, never deserted, never abandoned, ever. One day, there will be no more good byes, only wonderful, continual reunions because the One Who left Heaven to come to earth has made it so.
