Why Should We Want To Live Here?

[MorningGlory]

Seek God's Will for your life each day in prayer, and try to do it with His help.

Run a good race - fight a good fight - finish your course - all for God's Glory - knowing that God will call us home at His appointed time. In the meantime - KEEP LOOKING UP - and anxiously await His Glorious Appearance.

At times I get these crazy questions in my head. I have no idea what make me think them.

Well here is something I was thinking about this morning.

If heaven is like paradise and there is no sickness, pain, anguish, sorrow etc.etc..

and if we believe in all that Jesushas done and can do by faith, then why would or should we want to live down here on Earth?

I'm sure that no one wants to live here on Earth with the conditions of how the world is getting.

If the question makes sense to you then why or what do you think?

"...if we believe in all that Jesus has done and can do by faith..."

I think that's the key phrase.

Other factors may be fear of the unknown, fear of leaving loved ones unsupported, fear of letting go, fear of....

Fear.

"...if we believe in all that Jesus has done and can do by faith..."

...who then shall we fear.

I believe that we are His body to do His work until He calls us home, which is His will for us. What is a few years compared to eternity? Remember Jesus' words ...

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven."

... can we do His will on earth if we are no there? His will is His blessing to me, no matter where I call home.

I guess Paul said it best.

Philippians 1

²¹ For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. ²² If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! ²³ I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; ²⁴ but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. ²⁵ Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, ²⁶ so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

Why would anyone want to live here when they are a born again Christian. The answer is simple...... "Because you are not dead." If you're still here there must be a reason why and it is our duty to wait until our Lord shows us why......

Some time ago I asked him why....... and when I didn't get an answer I asked a little stronger.....

Well, long story short, I do believe I did get my answer and it wasn't anything I was expecting... It was like I heard him say to me... "Do you really want to know that???" When faced with that question and a quick flash of history, the answer was quite obvious..... 'No.... , I really don't think I do." End of Conversation...
