As a dad, I can’t help but share things my boys are doing. Recently our son Nate had a post on his blog page that encouraged me, so I thought I’d share it with you also.
Here’s the post:
He is coming soon
I probably shouldn't be up this late on a Sunday night.. but... what's it really matter? I can't go to sleep right now because I have to keep listening to this song over and over. It's called The Saints by Josh Wilson. In the bridge of this song it says,
He is coming soon, He is coming soon, He will take his bride he will make her new. He is coming soon, He is coming soon, to carry us home.
The powerfulness of those lines cannot be explained. When I hear that I can't help but just raise my hands and jump up and down. As Christians that is our entire hope. That is all we can look to in this world, because if those lines are not true our entire faith is stupid. If it is true, though, I can't help but hate myself for all the things I've put above that hope. Every day is an opportunity to live out that hope, and I need to do a better job.
