Where I'm Going....

I will admit there have been many times along the way, walking with Jesus, where I have not known where I was going....this minute, hour, day, week or year! I have simply put one foot in front of the other and let the Light of the World (Jesus) be my guide through life. All week long, I have had a song in my heart and I wanted to share the lyrics here on my blog:

Where I'm Going (by Brad Paisley with Dolly Parton)

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.
I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

(Chorus:)Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.
(Chorus)

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.
But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.

Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

Ultimately, no matter what I walk through with Jesus in this life, the end result is that I will BE with Jesus for all eternity! I will bask in His glory, and I will be forever in His Presence! There is no greater place to be going than this.

I love this scripture and since today is a day of sharing God's grace, I wanted to encourage you with it as well:

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (NKJV):

"But as it is written:
'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man, The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God."

Oh, how I love those deep things of God the Spirit reveals to me. I believe the greatest joy in this life, even above my family and children, is the joy I have walking in the Spirit next to God.

I pray today that God would reveal to you by His Spirit those deep things He has prepared for those who love Him. He says that those who love Him will obey His commandments, so we must first consider if we do indeed LOVE Him, and then if we see that we do....we can know that there is nothing hidden that He will not reveal. May God bless you in Jesus' name with knowledge of Himself, and the revelation of His glory to you!
