Behold, the Beauty of the Meantime
The most beautiful sight for me at Christmas is the lights. The warm and cool glow of them, the flashing and the tracing, the colourful and the white. All of their characteristics bring me tremendous joy each year.
Currently, we have a tree in our basement that I am looking at from where I write this blog entry. It has both white and colourful lights on it. The warm white lights glow continuously and the coloured ones glow with in a slow to powerful song. The one thing it is missing is its decorations.
It’s a new tree for us this year. It came with my daughter who is biding her time with us until she moves to another city to begin university. It will be regaled with her decorations when she gets around to it.
While I am waiting for her to decorate, I enjoy the flashing coloured lights and the warm white lights without any obstructions.
In the Meantime
The lights on the tree can barely be seen in the day time so the tree looks naked until my daughter covers it with her colourful decor. In the meantime, I will plug it in and enjoy how it shines with a breath taking, mind soothing, glow.
The tree is living in a state of readiness for the decorations, just as we are living in a state of readiness for our place to be revealed to us. When I sit before the Lord to grow up into His Woman of Vision, I am preparing to come to His place for me in Heaven.
Yet not only I am preparing myself to meet Him in the sky when the horn blows, but I am preparing myself to meet His expectation of me for my next “Upward Call of God” to move toward my “Vision of God”.
What can I do in the Meantime?
Continue doing what I know to do, as well as prepare myself for what is to come, the return of Jesus or my next “Upward Call of God” to move.
My Visionary Living Advice 💦 for you this week is to lead yourself through each day with a mind to return to Jesus for how to get ready.
Are you ready to work hard for your place on earth so you can enjoy the reward in your place with Jesus?
Meet me in Midlife Ministry Makers this month to discuss the reasons to celebrate and enjoy the place the Lord has for you.
