In a Little While

Jesus said to His disciples, “A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while later and you will see me." John 16:16

Jesus and His disciples certainly had some strange conversations! But after He died and appeared to them, some of those conversations became clearer.

I miss my mom, my dad and my brother Robert very much, but that is tempered by knowing I will see them again. Recently, my aunt who would have been 96 years old next month, passed away too. It happened so fast that I keep thinking of her as well. We already had special plans on how to celebrate her birthday. How terribly desolate I would be if I did not have this reassurance that we will all be together again one day! 

But we do not have to wait to be with Jesus! We can be with Him all the time! He left us the Spirit to be with us always! “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20

We just need to spend time with Him and not be so enamored of the things this world has to offer! We can't "see and hear" Him if we don't turn off the noise, the clamoring of this world, the urgent call of the long list of things to do!
