Heaven

When I was a little girl, I was fascinated with the book of Revelations. That was my favorite place to read in the Bible. I would read every word, looking for anything that described Heaven. My mom says that I used to scare her because at five years old I would talk about going to Heaven. I was always staring at the sky trying to catch a glimpse of Heaven, angels, or God. I had more of a sense of "being away from home" than I do now. Now, I pray for Jesus to come but I tend to add, "But, don't come until I have had a family and I am old and grey." When I was little, I only prayed, "Jesus, please, come." It seems that as we get older, the more "attached" we become to the world. We lose our sense of "childlikeness." Children don't worry about what is going to happen a day from now, let alone a year. Growing up I watched the skies like the Word of God says to do, but, now I tend to not even look up. The only time I even look at the sky is if something there catches my attention or I am bored. Wow. As a little girl I was afraid of missing something...


Where are your eyes fixed today? What are you searching for?

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelations 21:1-7
