One of these days...

One of these days I'm going to tell my uncle about the man who owns my heart. I am going to tell him about the love He has taught me, the assurance He has brought me, the protection He provides and the guidance He has over my life. I am going to tell him how this man has completely changed my life in so many unexpected ways. This man cherishes me and is always, always, always there. I want to tell my uncle how much I want him to meet this man, tell him that this man loves him more than anyone else ever can. I want him to know that with Him, my uncle can experience true love, true joy, true peace and true life. My uncle needs this man. I need to tell him...one of these days.

One of these days, I'm going to stop cracking jokes all the time and tell my co-worker about this guy I met. I want to tell them of the miracles He has done and how simply amazing He is. It's so easy to talk about everything else: the weather, society, problems and people but one of these days, I'm going to lean across my desk and tell this fellow worker about something we don't have to work for. I am going to tell them about the free gift that is offered to them, tell them that it is right there, waiting for them to accept it. I'm going to tell them...one of these days.

Because one of these days, ahh, one of these days, I'm going to see this man, really see Him. If not in the clouds, then on the other side of life, where I know He'll be waiting. He'll be waiting just for me. I can see Him now, standing there all perfect and bright, with His arms outstretched. I will run to Him and He'll hold me close. Finally together. Finally with the One whose given me so much. I'll finally see Him and finally be with Him...one of these days.

One of these days, this flesh and body of mine will be gone and done away with. It's going to be replaced with one that is perfect and holy. Pain, sorrow, tears and heartache, disappointment, frustration, burdens and sin will all cease to exist. I imagine they will be easily forgotten there, too. For our mind and our time will be consumed with praise and glory and our lips will overflow with "hallelujahs". On our knees we will be when our Savior we finally see...one of these days.

One of these days, I will stop dragging my feet and unashamedly, I will speak. I will tell my uncle and tell my coworker that the man who has given me everything, is offering it to them as well. One of these days, I will tell them...because before i know it, "one of these days" could come a day too late.
