When the royally redeemed new creature

sees the whole world system as wobbly,

sin-filled, corrupt, unsteady, unstable, shaky,

rocky, flimsy, frail, precarious, tremulous

this is when the world becomes like grains

of  sand to the authentic Christian. And we,

because of God’s refining Heavenly process,

become God’s perfect, priceless, precious pearl.

Like the thrilling moment when Spring and all it’s Christ-created

beauty comes forth and is resurrected from its winter filled rest, in

all the world we see a hoping, a Christ-given longing, an exhilarating

expectation, a prophetic crescendo,a yearning, a divine and Holy thirst,

that perhaps at any moment our blessed hope could come and take us

gloriously home to a ceaseless, eternal, fragrant, forever Springtime always

blooming with incorruptible resurrection, hope, love, and joy. For then we

will see our precious Savior face to face and all our faith will become sight

as we see Father, Son,and Holy Spirit in all their beauty-filled, ceaseless,

majestic splendor-filled glory. There is a Christ-given longing, an exhilarating

expectation, a prophetic crescendo, a yearning, a divine and Holy thirst that

perhaps at any moment our blessed hope could come in a twinkling of an eye

and take us gloriously home! Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Even so, come!
