I just can’t stop thinking of how close we are to being in Heaven…
This is a great time to be rejoicing in the Lord as we anticipate all the wonders we’ll soon be experiencing. As the Lord keeps replacing my thoughts of the things of earth with His healing thoughts and joy, Heaven’s becoming more preeminent in my thoughts every day. I love it!
The Perfect Life
22 Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb (Christ), 2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There will no longer exist anything that is cursed [because sin and illness and death are gone]; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve and worship Him [with great awe and joy and loving devotion]; 4 they will [be privileged to] see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will no longer be night; they have no need for lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign [as kings] forever and ever.
Revelation 22:1-5
The other morning, Ann and I were talking about God and Heaven. Ann was wondering what the river of life would be like. We sat just thinking about what it could mean. River of life…Paints a pretty picture in our minds. Fun to think about.
The other item that speaks to me in the above passage of scripture is that we will serve God. I’ve had a lot of different bosses over time. It’s really fun to think that I’ll be serving for the best boss possible, forever. ☺
Let your spirit soar as you remember Heaven, and its ingredients, this weekend. Thoughts of Heaven bring newness of life to each of us.
God bless, and we’ll have more fun next week.
