Remembering A Friend
Today marks the 1 year anniversary of a dear brother going home to be with the Lord. Chad Senas was a special man to many people. But most of all, he was special to the Lord. In 2 Corinthians 5:1-8 we are reminded that we were created to be with God and worship him:
"For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord."
Most of the relationships we share here on earth are just temporary . . . Husbands and wives. Parents and children. Co-workers. But with God as our Father, and the One to Whom we are going because we were created to be with Him, our brotherhood in Jesus will never end!
Therefore, today I remember Chad . . . and look forward to the day we will hang out again . . . doing what we were both created to do.
