“Mom, what is heaven like?”

“Mom, what is heaven like?”

 

Many years ago, when our son was in grade school, he asked me this question. 

I told him to think of the best things in his life and realize that heaven was even better.
 

I think that’s the truth expressed in 1 Corinthians 2:9:

“‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’— the things God has prepared for those who love him.” 

 

It’s hard for us to see beyond our present world and our present circumstances, but it’s a healthy thing for us to “fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

 

Our world is in turmoil, Christian values are hated, and genuine believers are experiencing increasing difficulties. We need to remember what Paul said during his difficult life:

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

Please ponder these truths when you feel frustrated. Remember that God is doing a good work in His children even when the world is in rebellion against His loving commands and principles.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

 

Amen!
