"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, The Lord Jesus Christ" Philippians 3:20
I know that many of us have heard from a early age that heaven is going to be better than our wildest dreams. It will be prefect, no more suffering. Amazing things will happen there, think of the lyrics from Audio Adrenaline song "Big House"
It's a big big house
with lots and lots a room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football
A big big house
It's my Father's house.
Seriously what kid doesn't want a mansion with lots of food and a big yard to do activities in. Doesn't that sound like the life?
My whole life whenever people would mention heaven or talk about heaven I always had doubts that it would be that great. My thoughtswould turn to how much I love my life here on earth and how I really didn't want that to change. I just didn't know how people could get so excited for the unknown and that truly scared me. Its not that I didn't believe God's promises or believe that I was going to heaven someday; it was more so the fear of the unknown and missing out on things here on earth.
I have felt this way my whole life until a few weeks ago, we were in worship and the song we were singing referred to heaven as going home. Those words shook my whole way of thinking about heaven in just a few short seconds.
I realized then that heaven is going to feel like my REAL home, it will be like I have been traveling my whole life to finally make it home. To be able to rest in the fathers arms and be truly at peace, I will have a sense of hope, calmness, love, and joy. My soul can finally be at peace. It will be like a day you get to sleep in and you are so snuggled in your bed with all the blanket and your only care in the world is what cereal you are going to eat, but it will be so much better. The amount of contentment we will have is unfathomable, we will take our first real breath and realize what we have been searching for all these years. I now know and understand that heaven is my real home!
