“Can you lose someone if you know where she or he is?”

I have kept going back to this statement I read in Don Piper’s book, 90 Minutes in Heaven. It has prompted me to reflect on those we (you and me) have loved or didn’t have the chance to love who now are with our Lord. Those we’ll be with for eternity in just moments actually.

Of course, only God knows the names, but it has caused me to reflect on who might be waiting for my arrival aside from our Lord and who I’d like to be waiting for me. I know that God has blessed me with unbelievable grace and mercy even accepting me as His son to occupy one of His many mansions He has prepared. That’s not bragging mind you, just an affirmation of the truth our Lord said to those of us who believe and give testimony to the truth.

They cannot be lost to us since they are waiting for us.

I wonder who will be first in line. Will it be my sister? Will it be the young mother I wrote about in my Walmart Encounter? Will it be my older brother who died at the age of 10 days or one of my parents? Could it be someone, in my pride, I would have never thought would ‘darken the door’? Could it be additional children I didn’t know about because of miscarriages? Could it be someone thankful for the work God has graciously given me to do?

I don’t know, but I can’t wait.

Blessings.
