Our Place...Forever

Good Morning,

John 14:1-3 (NIV)
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

Today's verse is, at least to me, probably the greatest promise that we have from the lips of our Lord while He walked this earth with us. He promised a room for each of us. Some translations say mansion instead of room, but either way, He promised that we would be with Him...for eternity. How much more could one wish for or desire?

Think about this for a while at some point today, please. Stop your busy activities and give serious thought about what God has promised us in this section of Scripture. Meditate on the fact that those of us who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior have the assurance that we will have eternity with Him in heaven...whether it be a room or mansion, it IS for eternity.

I must tell you that there are times that I simply cannot get my mind around the idea and concept of eternity. I'm sure that there are many who are much like me in this. Our finite minds have a difficult time understanding the infinite. But, even with not fully understanding eternity, Jesus' words still ring loud and true in my ears and in my mind and in my heart...just as they should for you. Even though there are times when the real idea of eternity escapes us, we should all still be overjoyed that we have a place with Jesus after we leave this earth.

Today is probably one of those days when we should just spend some time just allowing God to help us more full understand what Jesus promised for us.

Eternity in heaven with Him.

Hallelujah! Praise be to God! Glory to Him!

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
