Today has been a precious day for us, full of fond memories of Stewart and great anticipation of our future with him in the presence of Jesus forever!

You know, Paul records in I Corinthians 2:9 the Word of God through Isaiah that, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." Then Paul continues with this powerful statement, "But God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God."

God has placed eternity deep within my heart, and I have a pretty vivid imagination. But He is showing me Heaven (the new earth specifically) in realities so vivid and powerful, the joy and excitement are impossible to contain.

I recall hearing somewhere that we, as Christians, should "not be so Heavenly minded that we are of no earthly good". I have come to realize that this is a lie straight from the enemy. he knows that the more we become aware of the reality that awaits us . . . the more eager we will be to tell others about Jesus Christ and all that His precious blood purchased for us on the cross!

Heaven is my true home, and God has allowed me to partner with Him in leading others to this wonderful place, glorious beyond our imagination. And if you haven't recently checked out what God has to say about it . . . let the Spirit fill you in as you read chapters 21 & 22 in John's revelation. Remember, we have the same Spirit . . .

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13:23
