Reunion

Oh what a day that will be when my Jesus, I shall see when I look upon his face the one that saved me by his grace, when he takes me by the hand and leads me through the promised land, what a glorious day that will be.  When I sing this old song I am reminded of a reunion that will be so awesome and one that I am longing for.  Recently, I was reunited with my son, Christian, who I had not seen in 24 years.  When I saw Christian last my request was that he would be raised in a Christian family and learn the ways of the Lord.  When I heard that he had been found and was told his name was Christian my heart leaped for joy because his name will always be a memory of how God answered my prayer.  As I waited for the day to meet him I waited in excitement, expectation, at times I was overjoyed and had feelings of fear.  On the way to meet him, tears were flowing and I was asking the Lord to help me.  I was unsure of how the reunion was going to be but yet the Lord was telling me that he had opened this door and that good things were to come from my meeting.  When Christian and I seen each other we wrapped our arms around each other and just held on.  It was a blessed time.  The Lord has used my reunion with my son to remind me that I am to be in expectation of his coming.  My Christian walk with the Lord is to be one of excitement and expectation knowing that one day soon, I will be meeting my Savior face to face.  Jesus is coming after those that are seeking and ready for His return.  As I met my son with expectancy, and rejoicing how much more should I be looking for the return of Christ?  We have not had our reunion with the Lord yet, but we should be praying Come Lord Jesus, Come!  Oh my brothers and sisters I cannot express the excitement and joy of meeting my son for the first time. How much more excitement and joy it’s going to be when I meet my Savior who came and gave His life for me and has cleansed me with His precious blood and has called me His child.  Hallelujah, I’m going to see him one day, face-to-face and live for eternity with Him.
