"Between the worlds of men and make believe I can be found."  These are words from a rather mysterious and lilting song by Dan Folgelberg.  It probably describes us all at one time or another during our lives.  Mine?  Maybe more than a few!!  Being a Christian from a very early age, I have lived with hope in my heart concerning eternity.  Sometimes its a lot like make believe to imagine what the next life will be like.  I trust that God has that all prepared and that He knows better than I just how glorious it will be.  Until that time when I meet Him face to face, I can only read tid bits about those future events and try to picture such a dramatic and marvelous stage!  I have caught myself on many occasions wondering about the details and looking so forward to the promises the Bible speaks about.  Christianity is a religion of faith.  It is not based on what we see necessarily, but upon what a God who we cannot see has spoken and accomplished through an incredible story of redemption.  The story revolves around sacrifice and  victory...a heroic death that won eternal life.  I have been ridiculed, unfriended, and isolated because of this belief.  Many have thought me crazy - or different.  Some have avoided me simply because they cannot decide what they think about the subject and so choose to just not deal with it - or me.  I am ok with that.  Everyone is unique and individual in how they contemplate eternal things.  However, I continue to choose to await the day when I meet the King of kings face to face with joy in my heart.  I so wish everyone could experience the kind of relationship I have discovered in knowing Jesus Christ and the Creator of the universe!  It is an incredible journey and I am sometimes saddened that all will not choose to accept this treasured hope.  Please know that it is free for the taking.  There is no price, except that we must offer Him a heart of commitment and love as He has first loved and dedicated His all to us.  it is a relationship, and therefore requires covenant and unity.  I know, it sounds like a fairy tale, right?  You might say it is make believe come true because all the things we want most are what we eventually find when we know Him!  Afraid of rejection or believing in the unseen?  All I can say is try it!
