I can't wait

I can’t wait for the day when we celebrate the coming of the Christ instead of Christmas; When we are filled with joy over receiving His grace and not receiving plastic; When giving the good news is better than giving materialistic goods; Where kids look forward to the King returning instead of a fat red suited cookie thief coming down the chimney with care; When the sweetest part of the season is someone new becoming a slave to your master instead of chocolate treats.

I can’t wait for the day when we seek His will instead of for candy filled eggs; When instead of looking for droplets of joy in the yard, droplets of joy would be scattered throughout the lands; when instead of pretending to be glorifying Him on this Sunday, everyone would glorify Him on every Sunday; When the combination of rabbits and eggs would become more weird than living for Him.

I can’t wait for the day where cupid is less popular than Michael; When instead of concentrating on the love of that significant other, we would focus on Love; When we would give the Word in a heart shape instead of edible heart shapes; Where children would recognize the face of Jesus more than that of a baby angel; where love was characterized by only one man and one woman.

I can’t wait for this world. One day it will come, or I will go to it. Either the King will show up on His white horse and we all shall go, or my purpose will be fulfilled and He will call me home. I cannot wait for that day. Though many will parish, it is the day that will prove them wrong then everyone will be a believer, no matter what.
