Are you looking
forward to an event, a birth, a wedding, a family celebration, a vacation? As
we journey through life, we often look ahead. What’s next? College, job,
retirement? Life marches on. Memories form and hope remains. Hope for a future,
and a plan with a loving God and Father.
“For I
know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
“Hope and a
future,” are, indeed, words of anticipation. Place your trust in Jesus today
and forever. Heaven awaits and whether we are here or there, we are in good
hands.
For we
live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be
away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please
Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 2 Corinthians 5:7-9
Paul wrote the
verses above. He was one of a few escorted into the throne room of heaven and
he longed to go back over his lifetime of ministry. Be at peace. The
anticipation of heaven is real. We need have no fear of death. We will be
present with the Lord. Place your life in His hands. We await heaven!
Father,
Your plan for us is good, whether here or there, now or
forever. What a glorious homecoming awaits us! You long for us as much as we
long for You. We walk by faith as we live with hope in our hearts.
In Jesus name,
Amen
