But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you. 2 Pet. 3:8-9 (NIV)
And how we long for that Day. No more death, pain, or mourning; no more knowing in part or loving in part; no more goodbyes or good riddance’s; no more disappointing others or being disappointed; no more betrayals or rejections; no more broken hearts or broken anything; no more heartaches, or even heartburn.
But Father, your faithfulness isn’t just tied to the timing of Jesus’ return, but also to everything else you’ve promised. Indeed, there’s no panic or second-guessing in heaven today. You’re not distracted, agitated, or perplexed about anything. You never “try” to do anything, as though failure is a possibility with you. Keep reminding us: you never promised to do all things easy, but all things well.
