Editor, desiringGod.org Set aside, for a moment, the dayâs pressing tasks. Hush, if you can, the hopes and desires that rushed upon you the moment you awoke. Step away from the morningâs burdens. Forget what the hours ahead may hold. Now, Christian, remember: You are going to heaven. Very soon, even any moment, you will be hastened away from all youâve known here to take an eternal holiday. You will wake up to find your lungs filled with the air of âa better countryâ (Hebrews 11:16). Your sorrows and sighs will be out of sight (Isaiah 51:11). You will see Jesus face-to-face (Philippians 1:23). And with him you will be home (2 Corinthians 5:8).
