No More Goodbyes
No More Goodbyes
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
Lord, be with us this new year and help us to embrace wonderful times of fellowship with family and friends. Thank you that there is coming a day of no goodbyes – what a glorious day that will be!So, in this world, the end of a visit with family always leaves me with a bittersweet ache and loneliness when they leave. C. S. Lewis said, “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” The longings that we experience for those we love are because God first loved us. Those longings can be a signpost and point our way to God. When we are lonely for those we love that are far away or that we have lost in death, the best comfort is to run into the arms of our Good Father Who is always Present. He has said ” I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Heb. 13:5
