“HEAVEN IS both present and future. As you walk along your life-path holding GOD’S hand, you are already in touch with the essence of heaven: nearness to GOD. You can also find many hints of heaven along your pathway, because the earth is radiantly alive with GOD’S Presence. Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of GOD’S brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to HIS Holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with GOD. At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. Only The LORD knows when you will reach that destination, but GOD is preparing you for it each step of the way. The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy, to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in GOD’S perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late. Let the hope of heaven encourage you, as you walk along the path of Life with The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19
Prayer: God help me to walk along life’s path holding your hand, remembering you are always with me. Guiding me, protecting me, providing for me. No matter what circumstance comes my way I know I am Heaven bound and that gives me great hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
