Take Me Home Tonight

I have been walking around for the past two weeks with a song in my head - a hymn - Christ The Lord Is Risen Today. That's understandable I guess. It was Resurrection Sunday not that long ago. But this morning's wake-up song was different. Eddie Money's Take Me Home Tonight. What in the world?

The chorus of the song was playing on repeat in my head so I got up. I didn't want to wake my wife.  LOL! There were a few lines from the song's chorus that got my attention though so I wrote this short story to record them.

Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby

"Take me home tonight". Think about that for a moment. Isn't that every Christian's prayer? That Jesus would return tonight and take us home? You betcha!

The second line of the chorus is also interesting if you consider, what if it was sung by The Holy Spirit? "I don't want to let you go till you see The Light." Yes!

And then the last line, "Be my little baby." What was that that Jesus told us in Matthew 18 . . .

"And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 18:3

And then again in Matthew 19 . . .

"Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." - Matthew 19:14

Are YOU ready for the Lord to return and take us home tonight? Do you and I have the faith of a little child?
