Why So Unexcited?

I was speaking with a very dear friend today. During our conversation, it turned to our excitement of what lies in Heaven for us when we finally make it home. I was in tears, excited over being in the presence of God, my Heavenly Father and Creator. To be with the One who loved me so muh that He sent Christ to die on MY BEHALF!

I am excited to see those that have gone before. I have this belief that we will know everyone when we get there. I am excited to think that Stephen and Samuel, Peter and Paul, Elijah and Elisha will run up to me and pull me into a hug, saying "We've been waiting for you! Welcome home!"

How come Christians aren't excited like that? Why? Isn't the thought of being with God for all eternity exciting?

Do we have something more exciting in life than that?

If so, what could it be? What do we have in life that is more important and more exciting than spending eternity with God?

I don't have anything that is so much more exciting in life.

Think about it.

A short life here with excitements that last a moment or an eternity with God?

I choose the excitement of an eternity with God.
