Healing is something everyone wants to attain, regardless of whether they don’t remember it by their need or method of acquisition.
There are many needs, modes, and sorts of healing. And of these needs, modes, and sorts of healing, the incomparable healing happens in the transition to forever. Not that we ever could order our very own healing by euthanasia, however we can anticipate a Christ-filled time everlasting – the eternal healing and the ultimate life experience – if we are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus.
As we consider our unborn baby, as yet growing in the belly, as yet kicking and moving about, we realize that it is weeks or even days before the eternal healing and ultimate life experience takes place.
It is rather bizarre, that, on approaching 50 years of age, a lot of people have no experience of what the most up to date addition to our family will experience in days or weeks.
In any other way it would be as if our baby were jumping the line; a line that nobody really wants to join if they have any satisfaction in this life.
It is an eternal profundity that we are planning death before life.
We, along with many others traveling this path with us, cannot really reconcile reality of our path. We are forgiven for being astounded; for wrestling with an unsolvable enigma; for sitting discreetly in the deadness with which reality bears.
Indeed, even as I compose these words there is a sense in me of the meaninglessness for writing, yet my faith holds out expectation that it may support someone, not least ourselves.
We have it all in front of us, and there are many, many individuals who have not had that extravagance; the fact of death stole the snapshot of life without warning. However, knowing all along, living a surreal half-reality, also seems cruel.
The ultimate life experience, to be given unto God without any decision, may only be experienced once. Once for all time will we meet God. Once for all time we will make the transition from imperfection to perfection, from shaded dark into glorious light, and from mystery to understanding.
As we hold open in our minds and hearts the horrible truth, having traveled 66 days in a meandering nether land, regardless we hold in balance that God is good, above all.
As our unborn experiences the ultimate life experience even before life is experienced, we, too, will experience life as if we’d never lived it.
