A PLACE CALLED HEAVEN

First Lady Rogers

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

John 14:1 – 3

Heaven is a real, literal place. It is not a fantasyland or imaginary place, wishful thinking or a means by which to escape the woes of this world. Heaven is a real place where God lives and the place where those of us who believe in and love the Lord will one day live eternally. We don’t hear a lot about Heaven today because many are not Heavenly minded and are preoccupied with living only for today. They have grown so accustomed to this world and the pursuit of things in this world, that their hearts have started to drift from that which matters most. We most certainly can and should enjoy the life that God has blessed us to live on the earth (1 Timothy 6:17), but we must do so while making sure that our affections are not limited to the here and now.

While we are enjoying life and doing well, we absolutely must guard our affections so that we do not become too comfortable in this world. We should adapt the same mindset of Evangelist Billy Graham who once said, “My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.” Our true home is not on this earth (Philippians 3:20). It has been prepared by Jesus in Heaven for us. There is so much that awaits us in Heaven and our very best days here will never compare to our eternal home. As you live out the rest of your life on this earth, fulfilling your assignment and enjoying the blessings that accompany, carry with you a longing to see and be with our Lord in Heaven. We’re almost home!
