Breaths

My friend and I were talking about those moments that take your breath away. You know, those Godly glorious moments that are of a truly spectacular type of kind, rare, and perfect. And you are standing there holding your chest because seriously you just lost a breath or two.

And I got to thinking, where do those breaths go? Then there was a happy thought. This thought that what if those breaths floated up to the sky like a lost balloon, floated up into heaven. And all our breaths are at heaven's door waiting for us. Because when we get to heaven and see it for the first time it is going to be lung freezing. We are going to stop breathing...but wait, there are all those breaths that have been being stored up there, and all those breaths will be given back to us so we can breathe easy again and take in all that we need to take in when up in heaven.

So the next time you have some sort of breath-taking moment in you life, something magical and wonderful happening to you, that is a glimpse of heaven, and in exchange for that glimpse of heaven God took your breath so you can breathe easy when you get to His home for the first time. You can know there was an exchange that took place in that moment. You can know that God is thinking ahead. God is planning for the breath-taking moment of all breath-taking moments and He wants you to breath easy and enjoy His moments that He gives you. And the more God takes our breath away, the more glimpses of heaven we get and the more breaths are stored up for our coming home.
