The Best is Yet to Come

I was sitting here thinking about so many things that have been happening in my life here of late, all the hardships I’ve seen people go through, all the struggles that family and friends have had to endure, when a old song began to play in my mind. I remember as a child hearing my parents and some of my uncles and aunts sing this song together and it’s meaning means so much to me even more than I think I ever realized it would.
The song goes like this “Oh the best is yet to come when I walk through Heaven’s gates, oh the 1st time I see Jesus oh I can hardly wait, He’ll show me to my mansion and say this is your home, I have a feeling in my heart the best is yet to come.”
Even now thinking about those words, I can imagine my great grandpa Blevins and my great grandma Blevins, my great uncles David and Yokeley, my Mommaw DeBord, my great aunt Ellen all walking through Heaven talking to each other and worshipping at the feet of Jesus.
Maybe it’s because July 24 is a special day to me since it’s my birthday, but I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic and think about my family who paved the way before me, I can’t help but think, wouldn’t it be something just to get a little glimpse of what “the best to come” looked like. I don’t think our human minds could comprehend it all, and that’s ok, because I don’t know about you but when it comes right down to it, I love surprises, so when it’s my turn to get to see “the best that is still yet to come” I want to walk through those pearly gates of Heaven with my eyes wide and my mouth dropped open in awe of the splendor and glory of our home in Glory!
Even thinking of that song just gives me a reminder that for today and everyday – the best is yet to come, God’s got something great inside of each one of us, something He wants us to do before He calls us home to be with Him. I want to challenge you today to know that The Best Is Yet To Come and you may not know what it is yet, but keep seeking God – He will open your heart and reveal to you everything, in His time!
