Shall I Go Or Shall I Stay?

Philippians 1:21-23 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.  For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

 I often feel that way. My heart longs to see the One who climbed the hill of  Calvary and took my sins upon Him. Jesus Christ will be the single greatest sight in glory -- also called Beulah Land.

The Apostle Paul knew he had a service to perform for the glory of God, and was willing to forgo his longing to be with Jesus and get the job done.

Believers  have been given the greatest message and mission that the world has ever known. It’s our duty to take it to a world that is wallowing and perishing in sin and to serve the Lord with all our hearts.

I’m kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never been before.
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
for time won't matter anymore.

Beulah Land, I'm longing for you
and some day on thee I'll stand.
There my home shall be eternal.
Beulah Land -- Sweet Beulah Land.
