Twilight and evening bell,

And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

When I embark.

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place

The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crossed the bar.

—Alfred Lord Tennyson

How Long, O Lord?

He who “lives forever” has placed himself at the head of a band of pilgrims who mutter, “How long, O Lord? How long?”

“How long must I endure this sickness?”

“How long must I endure this spouse?”

“How long must I endure this paycheck?”

Do you really want God to answer? He could, you know. He could answer in terms of the here and now with time increments we know. “Two more years on the illness.” “The rest of your life in the marriage.” “Ten more years for the bills.”

But He seldom does that. He usually opts to measure the here and now against the there and then. And when you compare this life to that life, this life ain’t that long.

—Max Lucado74
