Be There!”
Dr. James Dobson,
former president of Focus on the Family, and who I have had the privilege of
meeting, reminds his children and his grandchildren often. This subject seems
to weigh on his mind. He admits verbalizing these two little words every time
he has the opportunity.
A random
conversation with one of his loved ones goes just about like this:
“Honey, I’ve got to talk to you about the
most important subject
in life. Could you give me a couple of
minutes?”
“Sure, Granddad.”
“Well, there’s a wonderful place that God
has prepared for us, and He
sent His Son to tell us more about that
place. Jesus lived on earth
awhile and then died for our sins on the
cross. He’s waiting for us in
His Father’s home. And Honey, I’ll be
going there to meet Him,
probably before you get there. I’ll be
waiting just inside those
pearly gates.”
His two closing
words are both simple, and compelling…
“Be There!”
