Thinking about Heaven…..
Thinking about Heaven Devotional for May 1, 2020.
It’s FRI-YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And HAPPY MAY DAY!
Enjoy the special May Day Basket!
I hope this devotional finds everyone ready to enjoy their weekend and welcome the month of May.
SCRIPTURE:
But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
—2 Peter 3:13—
THOUGHT:
Since it is May Day, I thought we would talk about something beautiful and wonderful and full of springtime hope – HEAVEN!
Sometimes on Fridays, when I am exhausted from the weeks’ work, I tell my kiddos, kidding of course, that I am so tired that I think the rapture is going to occur at 5:00 Friday afternoon, so that we can wake up in Heaven on Saturday morning AND we can sleep late because, well, it’s HEAVEN!!!
Of course, all of them remind me that we won’t need to sleep in Heaven because it is perfect and there is so much to see and hear and experience! Tru dat.
Leave it to children to be logical. Leave it to children to remember all that we have told them about Heaven, right?
So….Heaven – what do you think it will be like? No social distancing, no germs or viruses, no sickness of any kind, no masks, no gloves, everyone is able to hug at any time for however long we want to, and best of all…………….we are with JESUS!!!
And if God wills it, and I hope he does, I will look like J-Lo!
Kidding aside, won’t it be wonderful when all of us are gathered together in His Name, gathered at the foot of his throne, loving and praising Him?
My idea of Heaven will be of all people, regardless of race, heritage, skin color, language, culture, or anything else – will be one with God, one in accordance with each other.
My idea of Heaven will be that all people will be healthy, able and strong, and unable to understand what the word “ill” means because it is not part of the vernacular of Heaven.
My idea of Heaven will be that infinity will be a “norm” and that we will live forever in the presence of our Creator.
I know that we all have our work to do here to accomplish what He wants for the Kingdom. Yet, when my time is over, I look forward to that day of eternity of perfection.
What is your idea of Heaven? Would love to hear from you.
In the meantime, I am sending best wishes for a restful, calm, but resourceful weekend for you and yours.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, Creator of all things and all people, help us to live for your kingdom. Help us to forgive others, honor you, and enter into the holy gates of Heaven through Your Grace. For we know that it is your Grace that flings open the doors of Heaven. Your Grace that allows us to have life at all. Your Grace that creates the Heaven that we can experience when our lives here on earth are complete. We pray for each and every person to experience Your Grace.
AMEN.
