He's on His Way
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In
My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you
may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know. - John 14:1-3.
Growing up on a farm it was rare to be able to go to town and visit my
friends except during school. One of those rare days arrived during the
summer when I was ten years old. My Dad was taking the tractor and mower to
the big town of Canute, Oklahoma (Population about 500.) to help clean up
the empty lots. I was allowed to take my bicycle along and spend the day
having fun with my friends.
When the time came to go home, I asked my parents if I could ride my bike
home. It was four and a half miles to our farm. They agreed and they would
be coming along later. The first mile went fine but I had to walk up Turkey
Creek Hill and then I noticed both my tires were nearly flat. By the time I
had pushed the bike another mile I was hot, tired, and crying. That was when
my parents drove up. They could see I was upset and my Dad said, "Didn't you
know we would be coming?" While I had given up my parents were on their way
to pick me up.
Sometimes, most of the time, when bad things happen, we become impatient.
All we can see is what is going on in our lives right then. All we can feel
is the pain we feel then. What God would want you to know is this: He's
still there, He's still God, He still loves you. He's on His way to pick you
up.
