To Dream a Dream

I have a dream.

My dream is filled with beauty, peace and unconditional love. My dream can be summed up in one word: Heaven.

The cool thing about Heaven is that it is more than a dream. Heaven is more than a carrot on a stick being dangled in front of us. Heaven is real and heaven is a promised reality from God.

 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”... And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” (Revelation 21:1-5)

God will make His home amongst. We will be with God always.

There will be no more tears, death, pain or sorry.

God will make all things new.

How amazing does this Heaven sound? No more pain - no more sorrow - no more death.

Just love...

What a wonderful dream...What a wonderful reality.

We have a true hope in the future God has promised us.

Each day we gain glimpses through the doorway into heaven. When someone is kind or generous without a motive, we experience God's love in action. When a child is born or when a song is so beautiful it brings a tear to your eye, we experience the delight of God. When God allows us the privilege of sharing His hope with another, we get a chance to glimpse living in Heaven - side by side with our fellow believers.

Heaven is real...and Heaven is a dream.

Only God could be both.

Scripture

Revelation 21-22

Quote of the Day:

We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it in our power to be in heaven with him right now--to be happy with him at this very moment. But being happy with him now means: loving as he loves, helping as he helps, giving as he gives, serving as he serves, rescuing as he rescues, being with him for all the twenty-four hours, touching him in his distressing disguise.
