Hope

I've been listening to Whitney Houston sing "Jesus Loves Me."  I'm so saddened by her death.  Such an amazing talent who could never conquer her demons.  I like to think that Jesus welcomed her to Heaven yesterday.  I can imagine Him meeting her, welcoming her into his arms and saying, "Come here Whitney. It's over now.  Rest.  Rest."  I don't presume to know the mind of Jesus, but it is comforting for me to think he might have said this.  We are all so broken.  None of us can conquer our demons alone.  I'm not sure any of us can conquer our demons on this side of life.  I am comforted greatly to know that one day I will hear, "Come here Christy.  It's over now.  Rest.  Rest."
