After Death

"After Death" By Diane Webb

II Corinthians 5: 1—"For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

You have a house in heaven—made by God not man. Think of all the beauty God made on earth—the sunrise, the sunset, the mountains, the oceans, the flowers, and the many beautiful creatures. When you look at all the glorious wonders of God on earth can you just imagine the home he has made for you in heaven? If the earth, with the destructive touch of man and Satan, can still contain such magnificent scenes, you can expect heaven to be even more spectacular. The best man has created on earth cannot compare to the least of heavens. There is nothing but great and wonderful things to look forward to in eternity. Death on earth is only the beginning for Saints of God. Death represents the end of the worst part of your existence. When you die you have completed the bad part and you only have good to look forward to forever. Death is nothing to fear for you as a follower of Christ.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for your word today. Help me apply your truths to my life to achieve the best of my abilities for you. I am thankful for the exquisite beauty of your creation. I look forward to seeing you and the rest of your creation in heaven when, according to your will, I am called home. I pray in Christ's name, Amen.
