Another Time and Another Place

Very rarely am I moved to tears anymore. I was sitting in the office doing homework (Hebrew/boo, hiss) with the radio on in the background. An older song came on by Sandi Patti, so I decided to continue ignoring it. Then came the chorus:
So, I'm waiting for another time and another placeWhere all my hopes and dreams will be capturedWith one look at Jesus' faceOh, my heart's been burnin'My soul keeps yearnin'Sometimes I can't hardly waitFor that sweet, sweet somedayWhen I'll be swept awayTo another time and another place
These words drove me to my knees. Suddenly i couldn't contain the tears. Praise God that one day there won't be this body with its sinful desires to deal with anymore! Praise God that every relationship in Heaven will be perfect, not because it is Heaven but because we will be in the overpowering presence of the Almighty God! Praise God that through His grace, He qualified us to be shareholders in the inheritance of the the saints of light. To begin to understand what our reward will be is to begin down a path of complete misunderstanding, but I'm going to try, because it feels so good. Thank You God!

It is so awesome to think that God the Father has made us fit to be "partakers of the inheritance" we are going to be in the Kingdom of Light...I have pondered (chewed on)that part of the scripture since Sunday...
It is almost more than this feeble mind can comprehend...but, like you I'm going to try...because it does feel soooooooooo good...
