This song helps me so much! Especially when I am struggling. Our Hope is in Jesus. We can’t help but think sometimes just how imperfect our faith is. We can’t help feel sometimes that we just can’t make it. But we can.

This song says, “meet me in my weakness”. And Jesus will. Just call Him; He will be there and walk with us. Because He loves us!

May you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Being grateful truly leads to Happiness. So this Thanksgiving,let’s take a moment or moments to write down every single thing that God has given us. From family to health, from a job to a place to live, from all things tangible and intangible…And we will be amazed how long that list is!

Thank You God 🙂

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; bless his name!” – Psalm 100:4

It’s true, isn’t it? We are waiting to enter Heaven and be with God all the time! We are waiting; we are praying and we are Trusting God and Knowing that day will come. And it will 🙂

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s remember that what we are most grateful for is Jesus 🙂

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”-Matthew 28:20

Yesterday we spoke about how when we go to Heaven, we will be with God. And we will. All the time.

But sometimes we forget, we can be with God, all the time, now! Jesus, Immanuel, came down to earth to Save us. Jesus was with us. He is with us now! But sometimes, because of sin and temptation, and life’s other distractions, we do not focus on Jesus 24/7 as we should.

But Heaven is here. Imannuel is here. God is with us!

It’s our choice as to how much time we spend with God. A choice given to us by God Himself 🙂

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.  And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.  He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” – Revelation 21:1-4

In Heaven, we will get to be with God forever :). All temptation and sin will be gone forever. And we will walk with Jesus. God’s Light will enveope us and the Holy Spirit will fill us.

We will finally be Home, forever.

“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” – Revelation 21:23

The Path to Heaven is not always an easy one, but it is one we keep walking, together. There are all kinds of prayers that help us on our way. One is to close our eyes when the Path becomes difficult, picture Our Father on one side holding our hand and Jesus on the other side holding our other hand. And simply say “Help In Jesus Name” and “Thank You”:). It’s amazing how that can restore our souls 🙂

There is something else that God created on our earth that can encourage us. The Sunrise and Sunset. We read a lot of the Golden Light that fills Heaven. The Light of the Sunrise and Sunset are also Golden, created by God Himself. A Glimmer of what is to come 🙂

We can take a few moments, wherever we are, and focus on that Light, say Thank You, and be reminded that, at the end of the day, we will be enfolded in that Light forever 🙂

Thank You Jesus 🙂

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” – Revelation 21:4

There are so many reasons I can’t wait to go to Heaven, not the least of which is that we get to be with God and those we love and because it is so wonderful!

But one of the reasons I can’t wait to go to Heaven is that our struggle will be forever – done!

There will be no more temptation, no more sin, no more shame… We just get to be with God and filled with Joy for all eternity.

There will be no more sickness, no more pain, no more struggle to support our families…

There will be no more struggle to find as much time as we need for prayer, no more struggles to be a good friend in the face of the business of our lives, no more struggle to make decisions, and no more fear and worry…

Every burden will be lifted forever!

We will, finally, be Home in Heaven for good. For all eternity.

Thank You Jesus for rescuing us!

“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” -Matthew 18:2-3

The Serpent has not changed since Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. He is still the same evil and sneaky creature. He still lies, and lies well. He whispers doubts in our mind. Doubts, that if we allow them, can cause us to allow our Faith to weaken or loose our Faith completely . But without Faith it is impossible to please God. The Devil knows this.

He also lies in an incredibly believable way. For example, the devil, our accusor, will try to convince us that we are just not good enough. Sometimes, the devil will whisper small thoughts in our mind, such as we are not beautiful enough, smart enough or strong enough. The devil may whisper that if God was so great, He would make our path easier, He would heal us of all of our sickness or pain or that He would provide us with a better job, a better home, a better car…

Once the devil convinces us of small things, it will become even easier to convince us of big things like God doesn’t really love us!

But here is the great news! We do not have to listen to the devil.

Instead we can listen to God! Who tells us how much He loves us. For after all, “ We love because he first loved us”. Who tells us “He has prepared a place for us”. Who tells us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”.

Heaven is waiting for us. Choose Jesus. He truly came to Save us, build a Bridge and bring us Home 🙂

I don’t know if you have had the same experience I’ve had. But so often I lay my troubles down and I know Jesus will take care of them. And yet, even knowing this, I somehow pick them up again!

But in Heaven, we will finally get to lay down ALL of our troubles forever! There will be “no more pain”, no more worries and no more suffering…

There will be Rainbows and Light, Waterfalls and Beauty beyond our imagination. Hugs and smiles, laughter and friends…

For all eternity, we will let go of all of our burdens & be filled with Joy 🙂

“ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. “- 1 John 4:18

The Garden of Eden is filled with a “wonderland of color and life”. And it’s filled with so many people, animals and flowers…Mountains and river …:)

But one thing that is not in Heaven, is Fear. There is no room for Fear in such Perfect Love.

I have to admit, I was one of those people who was always afraid and worried about everything. I just did it all anyway.

So I can’t wait to be in Heaven. To know absolutely no Fear! What a Gift! 🙂

To lay down with the Lions and know no Fear 🙂 How amazingly wonderful 🙂

Thank You Jesus!
