Nancy Damaswalgam who says the soon return of Christ provides tremendous comfort.

How can we think that we will enjoy an eternity in a righteous heaven?

If we have loved unrighteousness, here on this earth.

Welcome to the Reviver Hearts Podcast for September 29th, 2023.

I'm Dana Grash, our host, the author of Heaven Rules, Nancy Damaswalgam.

I was talking with a friend last night about this whole matter of the return of Christ,

and how we need to wait for it and long for it, and she said something that really caught my attention.

Maybe because it's something that I could not say and I was challenged by her testimony.

She said, hardly a day goes by that I don't tell the Lord that I can't wait to see Him.

And I looked at her and I said, really?

I can't say that about myself.

This is not something I think about nearly that often, at least haven't in the past.

I said, how is that true?

What makes you think and feel that so often?

Hardly a day goes by that you don't tell the Lord that I can't wait to see you.

She says, well, it's like when you miss someone you really love.

And I thought that was such a precious description of this whole hope of the return of Christ.

The one we really love, we have Him in a sense here, we have His Holy Spirit living within us, we have His presence,

but we don't have Him in the way that we will someday.

And so we long for that day when faith will be sight and prayer will be praised,

and we will be together with the Lord forever.

And so I want to pick up just one further day on this matter of the return of Christ.
