A beautiful day

Bethany and I were walking along the beach the other day and the day was simply stunning… The sky and the ocean were so beautifully blue, the sand was a beautiful soft pink beige, and in places the water that remained on the sand reflected like a shiny mirror. It was a picturesque and divine.

We were both overwhelmed by how simply stunning the day was, and I couldn’t help but make this comment in reply. “Can you imagine what heaven will be like?

The older I get the more I realise that life really is just like a vapour and how simply ridiculous it is to waste it on selfish ambition. True joy can only ever be found in a life that is thankful and doesn’t hanker for position or things.

I think about Heaven a lot and constantly remind myself of the fact that this life is just a doorway to Eternity, and one day we will be face to face with our Lord and creator. It is an AWESOME thought…

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live 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."
