I'm So Tired... Aren't you tired? Is it from something specific, or just from living? I wonder, sometimes, when I feel worn out when nothing's really wrong, nothing is really troubling me, if I might just be experiencing that "longing for adoption" that God's Word refers to in Romans 8 (NIV): 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. I know that is the passage that often comforts me, lets me know that the Spirit is interceding for me; that I am, indeed, a stranger and an alien in this world, in it but not of it, seeing through a glass darkly, standing fast till He comes, working while there is light, watching on the wall, and that I need to look UP, because my REDEMPTION is drawing NEAR! Yeay, Jesus! I'm looking up!

ah yes, I am tired, but me thinks that God is not done with me yet, so take a deep breath and carry on . . . . I can see the light ahead of me, but my time is not yet.

So, when things grow dark, as they are and will do, we will shine like stars in the coming night as we provoke one another to love and good deeds, and remind one another to look up. We can exhort and encourage one another not to grow weary in well-doing, and be glad that any trials--even the groaning of yearning for His coming--pale in comparison to the awesome wonder of His presence that will be ours forever, every "day" of forever. Aaaaahhhhh....

My father used to sing Safe in the Arms of Jesus to us... "Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o'er-shaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. Hark! Tis the voice of angels Borne in a song to me Over the fields of Glory Over the Jasper Sea... Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o'er-shaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest." I long for Him Elizabeth

It has been my experience that when something is "awry" in the world, my longing for HOME grows. But my dear, your time has not come, and you still have opportunities to shine for Jesus. Take heart. God will give you the strength and the ability to carry on.

Yes, the longing is always there, but sometimes the song is sweeter. Thank you for the encouragement. I don't feel sad, really, just tired. Could it be that I have a midterm exam tomorrow? Nah...And I always miss my daddy in heaven! Hugs 2 U, Elizabeth
