Heavenly Places

Last night and this morning I've been meditating on heaven. Jesus told us,

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2, 3)

This is wild! Did you catch that? God's house is big enough to hold mansions! That's a BIG house!

Even with all of that space, Jesus still wanted to go back and take some time to prepare a spot for us to come and be at home.

Think about how you prepare for guests. You clean up the room... put out the good sheets, towels, soap... arrange little knick-knacks... you put a special gift out to make them smile.

Jesus is doing that right now for us! He's picking out the spot that He knows we'll enjoy... He's arranging things just so... He's pulling out His best items... He's preparing gifts to make us smile... Isn't that amazing? Doesn't that make you feel special?

Jesus is in heaven right now prepping for your arrival.

God has blessed us to be able to experience a life here on earth that is out of this world. Then we have the privilege of going to spend eternity with God in His own house... where He's given us our own place to live and be happy. We are truly His children.

So happy I'm one of His children!

Verse of the Day: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14: 3)
