So what will heaven be like? Will it be bold and wild? Or will it be quiet and thoughtful?
It occurs to me as I write this that every desire we have, in its pure, uncorrupted form, is a desire for God. What do we want? We want God.
Why does a baby come forth from the womb, struggling for life? Because life is where you meet your Creator.
The greatest gift we can give anyone is the gift of connecting someone with God. Yes, I mean what we evangelicals call salvation. But I mean more than that. I mean inviting our neighbor to experience God.
Eternal life begins when we open the first door to Jesus. But heaven begins when all the doors are open. Heaven brings our search to completion. There are no more dark closets, only the light of the presence of God.
Today’s verse:
This is eternal life: Knowing You, the one true God, and knowing Me, the Messiah You sent. John 17:3 The Easy Bible
Remember, you are designed to make a difference!
