Good morning and happy Friday. Have you ever wondered what heaven will be like? The beautiful colors and majesty of it all. Not even to mention the awesomeness of the glory of God. It will be amazing. Have you thought about hell any? I had a vision the other day of a person being welcomed into Heaven by the Angels. It was amazing. And as I stood there looking at it all I could see the tormented past this person had lived. It looked like what hell might start off looking like. But the person was coming out of darkness and into the most beautiful light. The angles were protecting them from even a glance back at what used to be their life and only could look ahead. The light was so bright but yet so easy to look at. There was singing that cannot be described at all and so beautiful on the ears to hear. I stood just outside and not allowed to see any further than I was standing now. With just the bit of what I saw I never want to be out of that place again. But just as the person entered in, their face was reflected back to me in the shiny golden streets and walls, and it was my own face. As I turned to leave with an unsure of what I saw feeling, again I was looking back at the life of the one who entered. It was so ugly and horrible. I couldn't help but wonder how this person made it to heaven. The doubt soon subsided when I saw events of recent past that I knew then were mine. It was me. But how I do not know. It gives me great hope to know that no matter how far away from God I may get, He's always one turn around from holding me in His arms. Never let anything or anyone or any circumstance keep you from the loving grace of God. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Monday. How much reverence do you give God? In other words, how much do we really understand about how big our God is ? That all things, ALL things, not just some are His creation. That He and only Him deserve praise. A friend of mine, Joel Vaughn, has a cd out with a song called "Bigger Than Me". In it he sings about how big God is. That He's bigger than all our problems, all the wars, all the disease. He is God of all creation and we cry out His praise, ( and now the heart of it all ), And even if we didn't Lord, the stars would do the same. Think about that for a moment. That even if we didn't praise Him, the rest of His creation would. Because the rest of it doesn't have the struggles we have. The issues of life we have. He burdens of other things like we have. Man that was an easy list of excuses right there. Sure, life can be, and is hard, but that's not a good enough excuse to not praise Him in the storms of life. And as big and as powerful and mighty as God is, He still cares about every single hair on your head. He knows you on a level that no one else can. He knitted you together in your mothers womb. Why are we not shouting His praise from the mountain tops? Why is He not in His rightful place in our lives today? Make it a point to see His creation around you this week. Look at all the birds and trees and sky and stars and moon and sun and soon the flowers and grass. It's endless. But even if we don't praise Him, all these things still do just in their being. Shout out to God and give Him praise and glory in all you do. In love always. <><
