Heaven is just a
breath away. Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He knows the end
from the beginning. Evil will be vanquished one day and His will and His
promises will remain forever. Let your mind move with anticipation into the
throne room of heaven.
However, as it is written, “what no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived-the things God has
prepared for those who love Him-these are the things God has revealed to us
through His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of
God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
But according to His promise we are waiting for
new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3;13
Today what God sees
as evil is being called good and good, evil, just as the book of Daniel
predicted. One day all things will be renewed, all will be transformed, even
our bodies. For now, we are in a temporary tent, one day to be transformed into
a forever body, like the Lord’s after His resurrection.
For we know that in this earthly tent that we live
in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body) we will
have a house in heaven, an eternal body made by God Himself, not by human hands
2 Corinthians 5:1
I encourage you to
read more about our eternal bodies in the beautiful verses found in 1
Corinthians 15:35-58
Longing for heaven?
Somedays I do. As my 90-year-old friend, Phyllis, said, “Aging is not for
sissies!” I can’t wait to have perfect
vision again, or to see my brother, who died of a debilitating Parkinson’s
disease leaping for joy. Yes, it will come to pass. Stay at peace. Jesus is
waiting with your resurrection body and a mansion prepared just for you, never
to perish or wear out. It’s made for forever!
Lord,
We wait with anticipation and hope for heaven. While we are
here, give us the peace that transcends all understanding, the comfort that
comes from Your Spirit. Give us angels to surround us and shine your
everlasting light upon us now.
In Jesus name,
Amen
