Until Then
“But until then, my heart will go on singing. Until then, with joy I’ll carry on. Until the day my eyes behold that city, until the day God calls me Home!” ~ Stuart Hamblen
This week, I’ve been singing “Until Then” a lot. I sometimes find myself longing for Heaven but then I’m reminded there’s a lot of work left to do here on earth. We will have an eternity to vacation and get away from problems and stresses. At times, that’s definitely the appeal Heaven has for me but, if I truly long to please my Father, I can’t keep pining for what I don’t have. I must faithfully serve Him here until He is ready for me there. He can’t say “Well done” if my job is not done well.
So I’ll work until the work is done. I’ll sing until He calls me Home. I’ll reach out beckoning others to come and one day, I’ll hear Him say “Well done!” Oh, how I long for that day but, until then, I will enjoy the life He’s given me right here. Life may have its stresses and trials but they won’t worry me for I truly am sheltered in the arms of God!
