Heaven is a real place for real people!
Do you believe that?
The entire human race is striving for Joy, Peace, Happiness, Success, and so much more!
Sometimes we may feel like we are on a merry-go-round. We are going and going, up and down, round and round and yet we seem to be making no progress.
Even for those who have a vital relationship with Jesus Christ, life can get hectic and out of control!
When have you ever heard someone say: “I have too much time!” or “I do not have anything to do!”?
But we are constantly saying, or hearing said, I just don’t have enough time to do all I need to do!
Non-Christians and Christian alike get caught up in the living and responsibilities of each day and we begin to think and live like there is no eternity!
“HEAVEN IS A REAL PLACE FOR A REAL PEOPLE!”
I understand that we are to live and serve the Lord God Almighty and bring His Kingdom to Earth. But this will not happen totally over all the world and all in it until the Lord Jesus is reigning for all eternity.
Sometimes we get caught up in life’s wheel going round and round, day by day and we forget that this life is swift and ………..
“HEAVEN IS A REAL PLACE FOR REAL PEOPLE!”
In heaven you will never hurry because there is no time!
You will never have pain, because your new body will be perfect!
You will have need of nothing!
You will never grieve the passing of a loved one, because there is no death there!
You will drink pure water and eat of the most delicious food ever!
But the best part is we will see Jesus face to face, and we will look on the face of the loved ones gone on before us in death. We will see the babies lost before or after birth and the Bible says about heave: “We will be known as we are Known!”
In other words, I will know you and you will know me. I will know my Mother, Dad, Sisters and all who have preceded me to this place of perfection.
Perfection? Do you ever just long for everything or maybe even a few things in your life to be perfect?
May I tell you that Heaven is a perfect place for a people made perfect and righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ!!!
May I tell you that we must never lose sight of the swiftness of life and the reality of Heaven!
When we lose sight of eternity and heaven, we tend to just flow with the worlds view of how we should live today!
If you do not see another sunrise will heaven be your home?
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof and all that is in it! But evil abounds and we can get caught up in the race of living and lose sight of Heaven, our destination if we believe and receive Jesus Sacrifice on the Cross.
If we do not have a relationship with the Lord Jesus, all of you know where our eternity will be spent, and no one wants to live in torment and away from the Lord God almighty forever. It is your choice, but for those of us who have a relationship with Jesus, do we really believe in heaven as a real place for real people?
Does it seem like a fantasy or as something so far away we cannot comprehend it? I believe that understanding the brevity of life and the reality of heaven will guide us to live each day as Jesus lived. With compassion, love and free from worry and stress!
1 Peter 1:3-4 (KJV)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
“HEAVEN IS A REAL PLACE FOR A REAL PEOPLE!”

Father God, creator of all that is I thank you that there is a place of perfection reserved for those who love you and receive what Jesus did on the Cross. Help each of us to take time to reflect on the fact that this earth is not our home, we are just passing through. May we understand that we must live out your priorities and your compassion in this world we are temporarily in. Forgive us when we live like this is all there is and help us to know Heaven is real! I ask this in Jesus Name! Amen
Love, MeMaw
