We can live each day as the world desires us to live or we can live each day as God desires us to live. Serve God, not the world.
What is Heaven? We can find Heaven here on earth and many do. Heaven is not a place but rather a thought, an experience. It is where we allow God to guide our steps, to protect us from falls, and to carry us when the pain is too much for us to bear. It is letting go of our pride and our will and allowing God in with trust, and hope, and faith, and love. When we do this we experience a peace beyond our understanding.
What is Hell? We can find Hell on earth and many do. Hell is also not a place but rather a thought, an experience. It is where we do not allow God to guide our steps, to protect us from falls, or to carry us when the pain is too much for us to bear. It is not letting go of our pride or our will and as a result we block the presence of God from our lives and live in darkness, despair, and hopelessness.
God calls each of us into relationship because God is first and foremost relationship. The Trinitarian relationship between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All that God created is in relationship. Our spirit will go home in relationship with God for all eternity and live for all eternity or our spirit will deny and close itself off from this relationship and die for all eternity. Either choice we will know with a knowing far deeper than what we now know on this earth. And that knowing will be with us forever. We will make that choice of life or death. Please choose life. All the right answers and wisdom of all the ages is within each one of us. Pray for the knowledge that you might know the truth for the truth will set you free.
We think too often that truth will bind us and imprison us. But it's the lie that does that. Many today are imprisoned by addictions, by power, by possessions, by fears and anxieties. Turn to Jesus and you will be free - free to live the life he has planned for you. Always remember that he has the bigger picture. He is like the man standing on the mountain guiding and directing us while we are the men standing in the valley not seeing what lies ahead. Trust him - always!!
God bless!!
