But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.–1 Corinthians 2:9
Someone said,”You Christians are so heavenly minded that you are of no earthly good”. But a dear saint standing nearby said,”No sir, you’ve got it wrong. We are so earthly minded that we are of no heavenly good”. Good point! We don’t think as much of or about heaven as we should, and it shows. We sing about having heaven on our mind, but do we really?
David Jeremiah said,”Why do so few believers long for heaven? Are children unmoved by the anticipation of Christmas morning? Are young couples apathetic about their wedding day? Certainly not. We need to expectantly look forward to our eternal destination.
Heaven is an actual location, and it is a future for everyone who knows and loves the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a place of reunion with those we’ve lost, and it is a place where we will see our Savior face-to-face. At that moment we will experience a deeper, fuller, and more exhilarating gladness than we can even begin to comprehend.
On the day we finally see His face, we’ll know beyond all doubt just how much God loves us — how much He always has, and how much He always will. As we kneel in His presence, tears of joy staining our faces, we’ll finally understand how much He has longed to be with us. We’ll then hear those two words that every soul longs to hear above any words imaginable: Welcome home.”
Are you complain about your lot in life, or rejoicing about your inheritance in heaven? Your attitude will affect your actions! Spurgeon said,”If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.” For many, life on earth seems to be hell because they have forgotten about heaven. The most useful people on earth are those who think much about heaven. What’s on your mind?
