       If a person transcends based upon murder, and enters Jesus’ presence and their new home of living is in Heaven—if that happens, the person, from their perspective, really hasn’t lost anything, have they? We, who are still back here on the earth, have in that now we have to wait a while perhaps to see them again. But, they and we will see each other again, we will be reunited, at some point in the future. There is temporary loss of enjoying our time with that individual, but it’s not permanent loss. And, if we are surrendered, we can find enjoyment again, we can find happiness again, without their presence because “All that matters is God.” As James concludes for us today (reading it again), “Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.” Yes, it rings true. Steadfastness is our goal. No matter what happens to us, or to those we love, this is our goal. True commitment to the Lord.
