Imagine this great tragedy: A woman walks with God for 40
years, fully saved, redeemed and following Christ. She comes before the throne
at the resurrection, and for the first time, she realizes what she’s missed.
She feels wave upon wave of pleasure flowing from the Son of God and says to
herself, “I could have drunk from this well of spiritual delight every day on
Earth. I just had to encounter Your heart and Your beauty. Life would have been
so much better! Everything would have changed, and I would have accomplished so
much more.”
Many Christians are like the woman I’ve described: They
spend their days on Earth believing that Jesus is harsh instead of tender, mad
instead of glad and distant instead of affectionate. When they finally see Him
as He truly is, they will be filled with regret at not having spent their time
on Earth radically pursuing His heart and reaping the amazing pleasures.
Many women go through life wounded and broken. But no matter the source of the hurt, Christ can repair the damage.
