He came back.
After that brutal Friday, and that long, quiet Saturday, he came back.
These many years of waiting will only be a sentence in the story. This long day will come to an end, and I believe it will end in glory, when we will shine like suns and stride the green hills with those we love and the One who loves. We will look with our new eyes and speak with our new tongues and turn to each other and say, 'Do you remember the waiting? The long years, the bitter pain, the gnawing doubt, the relentless ache?' And like Mary at the tomb, we will say: 'I remember only the light, and the voice calling my name, and the overwhelming joy that the waiting was finally over.'
The stone will be rolled away for each of us.
May we wait with faithful hearts.

That was beautiful. Thanks for posting it - I've heard some of Andrew Peterson's music but have never looked at his album inserts.
