Forever and Ever

I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

Revelation 22:13 (CEV)

What do you wish would last forever? Ice cream? Christmas? Playtime with a friend?

Sadly, things in this life don’t last forever. Ice cream melts. Christmas passes. Friends have to leave sometimes.

But the one thing that lasts forever is also the best thing—and that’s God! He began time. He made the earth. He was here before the dinosaurs, and he will be here after you get old with gray hair. He will be here until the end of time, forever and ever!

God wants us to live with him forever, too. He asks us to believe him and live for him. Then we’ll get to be with him even after we die. In heaven, all good things will never stop, and no bad things will ever happen.

So, thank God for all the good things we have now. They are little tastes of heaven. Keep loving God and looking forward to being with him forever.

What things do you love? While you think about all of the good things that God gave us, think about what heaven might be like and about being with God forever!
