Have you ever taken a moment to think about what Heaven will be like? As children, we all may have imagined our mansions in the clouds connected by shiny streets of gold. For those of us getting a bit on in years, our imaginations may lean more towards a place with no more back pain or worrying about paying our next electricity bill. Whatever it may look like, we as believers will know it as a place where we are fully welcomed, a place that we get to call home for all eternity.

And this is not because of any great thing that we accomplished on earth, but instead, only through the grace and mercy we receive from Jesus Christ, a Savior who took on all the sins of the world to create a place for us, a place that we could never earn on our own.

Today, go for a walk outside, spend some time in a favorite chair or a comfortable room, or even take yourself to your favorite coffee shop. That feeling that you feel, of being in a place that you love so much? That feeling doesn’t even come close to life, both on Earth and in Heaven, spent with Jesus. Spend some time in prayer, expressing thanks to Jesus for the mercy and grace He freely gives to each of us who ask for it.
