The other day, while driving back from Home Depot, I was struck by an amazing sunset. The sun was descending behind a large cloud, and casting color and light all over the sky. As I drove, it was in front of me, all the way home. I was listening to Switchfoot’s song, “This is Home”, and I prayed, “Father, thank You for the daily glimpses of Heaven You give me. This is one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. I long and ache for my true home that I’ve never seen. Thank You for the little glimpses from time to time. They take my breath away.”
Then He unmistakably spoke to me, “Trust Me, you won’t be disappointed. It will be beyond all you’ve ever dreamed or imagined.” Wow. My eyes filled with tears of wonder.
The sunset followed me all the way home even until I parked my truck. I got out, stood there a moment, drinking it in one last time. The moment ended, but one day it never will.
