Am thinking about Heaven today, a very real place. Do you ever think about this destination?

"And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise." Hebrews 11:9
There are gobs of things that just don’t make sense to us while here on earth, but we believers are looking forward to.. we are even longing for another place.
It's because of the Resurrection of Christ, we each can have a living hope in a relationship with Him (Jesus) -- we can enjoy the hope of Heaven!
Heaven and Hell are real places -- you've heard this and it's true. Believers, Heaven is waiting for us not cuz we earned it, but cuz Jesus took the judgment for our sins on the cross.
Heaven, this is the place old Abraham was searching for back in the day, and it’s really the place we are all searching for and longing for. Many don't know this is what they are really longing for.
The Bible tells us about this place. Hebrews 11:8–9 says that when Abraham reached the land God had promised to him, he lived there by faith, kind of like a stranger passing through.. like a foreigner living in a temporary tent.
Abe was constantly looking forward to a better city with eternal foundations designed and built by God Himself.
That’s what Heaven is about. It's the Home we look forward to. It is a city designed and built by the greatest Archatech -- God. In the final two chapters of Revelation, John used the word “city” eleven times in specific reference to Heaven.
Like Abraham, you and I are foreigners just passing through. We’re passing through this world, and everything we’re going through is actually preparing us for out home in Heaven. Remember, Jesus said to His disciples, “I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2 NKJV).


In the first chapters of the Bible, we see paradise lost when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. But in the final two chapters of the Bible, God describes the paradise that He has created for us in Heaven. What an exciting place -- what a wonderful place of loving-reunion! Come as you are.

Worship comes before the work of sowing, watering, reaping.. and during the work as well. Lord, we believers praise You -- let them see You in us today. All day long, let our works, words and witness be as pure worship unto You!

Our time here is pretty short. Believer, what soul-winning prayer would you voice to God in Jesus' name? For me, with Him...

- GIVE ME EYES TO SEE THE LOST WITH YOUR PERSPECTIVE, GOD.

- GRANT ME A SOFT (NOT HARDENED) COMPASSIONATE HEART THAT REALLY LOVES THE LOST LIKE YOU LOVE US/THEM.
- GIVE GUIDANCE WITH A WILL TO GO BEFRIEND EM. YES, USE ME TO WIN THE LOST ..GIVING THEM AN ON-THE-SPOT OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO YOU, LORD (FOR YOU ALONE CAN SAVE).
- GIVE ME A NON-PUSHY MOUTH LIKE YOURS.. TO TACTFULLY, BOLDLY, CLEARLY TELL THE LOST ABOUT JESUS. SO MANY PEOPLE I MEET THINK THEY'VE HEARD YOUR GOSPEL MESSAGE.. AND DON'T YET GRASP IT.
Do you have questions? If you're not sure where you currently stand spiritually.. just come to Jesus.
Let's make this and every moment count for God's glory. Don't first clean up your life to come to God, just come asking Him to forgive you. Approach Him with honest repentance, humble faith, and a willingness for the Lord to work inside your heart and mind.

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬ ‭
