If I find in
myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most
probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

Do you find
yourself in this space? C.S. Lewis was contemplating this idea when he was an able
bodied man. But what of the man (or woman) for whom the veil is thinning and a
breath separates one life from the next. And if we are in fact made for another
world I wonder what that homecoming will be like? Perhaps it is like a bird
living its whole life under water using some sort of breathing apparatus. If
the bird was young enough it would know no difference. But what a glorious
moment if it were to break the surface, dry its wings and find it could fly?!
It could fill its lungs with pure air! All the things it saw as it came near
the surface would be clear and crisp, not a blur of colors, but each one
distinct. What would it experience when it, for the first time, ate the food it
was intended to eat?
You will be
seeing things clearly for the very first time! Even those glimpses of His glory
you've gotten throughout your life will seem as shadows when you are finally on
His side. You will truly be able to taste and see that the Lord is good in a
way we can't even comprehend! And you, my dear friend, will fly.
I love you!!!
