A Home in Heaven

Hebrews 10:34, AB

You yourselves had (in heaven) a better and lasting possession.

Paul once wrote, "If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men" (1Cor. 15:19, NIV). If there is no life after death, no Heaven, no promise of a better world-then life is empty, hopeliess, without meaning or purpose.
But this life is not all! Ahead is Heaven and someday "we shall always be with the Lord"(1Thess. 4:17). Someday we will go to a home where all is happiness, joy, and peace. How barren our lives would be if we didn't have this hope.
Knowing Heaven is real will make a difference in the way we live. For one thing, we won't become attached to the things of this world. We will say with Paul, "I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content" (phil. 4:11).
But Heaven should also give us a burden for those who do not have this hope. Every day you meet people who do not know Christ. Will you tell them?

My response is Oh yes, I will tell whom ever wants to hear. It has taken me sometime to reach the understanding that nothing here on this earth that we currently live on matters. I want nothing that it offers. If I could escape to a desserted Island and live the rest of my days in peace and tranquility, I would be content. But I know that I cannot do that. I have my family. I have been out of work since July 2005. I became very ill and discovered that I had numerous health problems. Some bad some manageable, but I have been trying since that time to get my disability. Let me just say that system is really screwed up. However, to this day I still have not recieved it. But anyways, that is another subject. During this time I have been angry, sad, depressed, bluer than blue, happy, played the blame game, you name it. But the Lord has worked on my mind and heart in a way that I never thought imaginable. I am just waiting on that day to go to that forever home. Paradise awaits for those that want it. Praise God....
