“The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:17-18 ESV)
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” (John 14:18 ESV)
I was scrolling through Facebook for a few minutes yesterday evening when I saw a music video. It had a bunch of kids in it so I stopped to listen. It was called Jealous of The Angels by Donna Taggert:
“There will be another angel
Around the throne tonight.
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight.
It’s not my place to question
Only God knows why.
I’m just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight.”
I listened. It was beautiful. But it made me really sad. I kept thinking of Mom. What it must have been like when she got to heaven.
I have been blessed to hear angels singing. Their singing is beautiful with perfect harmony in all ranges. But to hear them and see them around the throne worshiping God. I don’t think words could describe how beautiful it will be.
But the more I listened, the sadder I got. I miss my Mom everyday. But there are times when I just want to sit and cry for the lost time. The why’s and why nots get me. Why didn’t I go see her more often? Why didn’t I get her and take her for a ride once in awhile? Now I can’t. I can’t love on her. I can’t talk to her, I can’t see her and I can’t hug or kiss her one more time.
But if I could have her come back, I wouldn’t. She is happy. She is with Jesus. I wouldn’t want anyone to bring me back once I’m in heaven.
So if you are missing someone in heaven, go ahead and cry. Then smile and thank God they are no longer in pain and you will see them again.
Have a great day!
