Come away with me...

Come away with me
And feel what is yet to be.
Heaven our hope is calling,
May this thought keep us from falling.
Falling into the pit
Falling into despair.

Heaven our hope is calling,
May we be falling.
Not into despair but love,
Love of Our God
Love of each other.

Heaven awaits us
Each and everyone.
No more pain,
No more fear.
Love abounds,
Its everywhere.

Come away with me,
Let see what we can see.
Heaven is calling,
Beauty beyond comprehension
Oh can't you already see?

Togther then let us go,
Hand in hand,
Heaven bound you and I
There to dance for joy
To laugh eternally.

Amen.

Heaven True Joy and Hope for our weary world!

Of course! Yes, been thinking about Heaven again! Do it everyday now...Its becoming a habit, a good one! The more I think about it the more I want it...What about you friend? Have you thought about Heaven today? There is so much negativity going on everywhere. It can be overwhelming can it not? Want some hope, some cheery news? Of course you do! Heaven! Wow! If only the joy would spread, the knowledge of what awaits us! If only! Once heard a supposedly true story of a man who was given 7 seconds believe it was of a view of heaven and it actually took his life! He was according to the story so happy his human body couldn't contain the emotion and he died! Wow! That tells me that maybe the reason Heaven is veiled to us now is for this very reason. Maybe only our spiritual side (soul) are able to actually handle heaven and that is why we die to get there... Maybe it is just SO WONDERFUL we couldn't handle it...Ever think of that? Something so wonderful it would kill you? Must be good! Still think no big deal, not sure if you care if you get there or not? Better think again my friend. One way or the other you were made for eternity. Thats like forever with NO END... Ummm, think I'd like to be happy for eternity how about you...So remember that old quote "where your treasure is there will your heart be"?? Make Heaven your treasure and your heart will follow. If you do so you will live in a manner that will take you there. Remember you are only one heartbeat, one breath away from eternity! Where would you like to spend yours?

End Times?

Keep hearing people say, good people, godly people that they feel or sense we might be in the end times...I often speculate on that myself. I have often prayed NOT to live in such times and yet it is what it is. If indeed we are in the end times only God knows how LONG it will last, a century or two, a few years only. Only He knows. No matter, again it is what it is. What IS important though is that we are always ready at all times to be called home to heaven. Remember we are running a race, a race against time, our lifetime however long or short it may be. NOTHING else is as important as getting to heaven! Nothing! We must do all and whatever is needed to do so. It must be our top priority. If we live this way all will fall into its proper perspective. We will live good lives, we will finish the race a winner! We will receive the laurel wreath of victory as we cross over into Heaven our ETERNAL home...Think of it. We are but in a waystation here, waiting for that train to take us to one or the other permanent location. Think of this, don't trivilize it...We are now planning our future. Will it be full of glorious bliss or endless despair and pain??? Its our choice, and we are making it right now!

If we are in the end times then it is even more important to live godly lives, one to save our souls but two to help inspire others, to help them to persevere. We won't go to Heaven alone, oh no! We are like a stone thrown into the quiet waters, we make ripples for good or for ill...We will take others with us to one location or the other. Which are you doing?
Something to think about isn't it? One last thought. If Heaven is our goal then the negative things that happen here really don't matter do they? If we can just hold on and persevere through them then when we get to Heaven it will not even be a memory the bad things we suffered here. Remember that when something goes wrong. Its all part of the test, part of the race to see if we persevere. We must be strong. We must keep our eyes on the prize! NO MATTER how hard things get and we are just a breath away from giving up we must NOT do so! Remember "I can do all things in Him who strengthens me..." St Paul quote. God will give us whatever strength we need to persevere if we but ask Him. We must trust our Good Father like a small child not understanding what the parent is about but know that it will all work out for the childs good. This is what we must do.

Peace!

Our Failings.... Our Promised Gift...

Had an interesting experience today. Someone I highly respect was having a really bad day. Saw an angry side of them had never seen before in all of our five years of knowing each other. Must admit was a little taken aback as I got to feel the brunt of it even though it wasn't my fault or doing. I let them vent and eventually they laughed and smiled a little bit. But my point here is this we are ALL weak and human. We ALL have our down side our "unpleasant side" and yet think that this is exactly what makes us shine even brighter when we do GOOD. It is such a contrast the good and evil in us. When through God's grace we succeed in doing good we just shine like the sun. And it is even more wonderful because it shows how far we have come from the low of sin to the height of godliness... Think that the more we strive to let the good shine out here the more we will shine in Heaven as well. Was reading or starting to read a book just found on heaven. The one little section started reading said something about us "shining" from within in Heaven (think thats what it said)...Anyways got me thinking that the more we resemble our God the more we will shine of course! It makes perfect sense. God is light! He is the opposite of darkness which is what the other place is in so many ways. The other place reeks of dark things, lack of light, lack of God's life, death, darkness of mind and heart, burnt corpses.

Heaven on the other side though is filled with light, God's light! Of course there our very bodies in their new form will "shine" from within because we are filled with God! And He is light and love radiating throughout all of Heaven. Can you even begin to imagine. We will not be like "glowing ghosts" like you see on tv but will truly be "lit from within" with the glow of God's love. I imagine such beauty, all of us transformed into beautiful to behold creatures all flaws perfected! We will it seems still look like who we are but perfected! Beautiful as He intended us from all eternity! What what an awesome thought! Isn't that thought something to sing about! If you don't think so then maybe the "other place" with its smell of burning things will appeal to you? Not me!

Anyway also wanted to point out that our "failings" if we overcome them will cause us to shine in a special way that not sure how God will do it but that will tell others how we with God's help managed to overcome certain faults and hence give glory to God... It will be as it were a special badge of honor of us...ON the other hand if we get the other place these faults will be a special curse to us...That I am convinced!

SO all you other weak failing humans out there, chin's up...Keep trying to bring out your better selves and keep the goal in site. Heaven is waiting, like a bird let us soar to meet our God who will be no stranger to us if we keep running the race and cross the finish line with Him!

Peace to all,
GG

Dear Ann Marie

When I meet you up yonder we must together celebrate and praise with ALL our joyful hearts the One who has brought us together to share His wonders!

To Soar As A Dove to My God!

Ever feel like if you could just be free of this corporal link how you would instantly just soar like a bird up to heaven into the Hands of God? Oh how I long for that...And yet duty binds me here and here I must abide until that wonderful moment when in the blinking of an eye I soar to the heavens to be forever embraced by my God! Life here is not all bad and yet life in Heaven is so to be desired that it makes as it were straw of this life's pleasures. Perhaps I have dwelt too long on the pleasures of Heaven and so that now I can no longer find peace here. I long for Heaven with every fiber of my being... It is as a bird trapped in a cage longing for the freedom of the heavens...Yet my God knows I am not ready to soar, I must still develop my wings through the trails of this life so that they are strong and ready to soar...As a deer longs for running waters so my heart longs for you oh my God.

Heaven is the BEST bandaid ever!

Sounds silly but not really if you think about it. When your having a bad day due to sickness, sick kids, cranky boss, money issues, etc. Whatever it may be try to think on how TEMPORARY this world is...So short in the scheme of things. Think then on how WONDERFUL Heaven is...ALL your dreams will be be fulfilled...All of them...If they are worthy and good, stemming from the Creator of all creative dreams they WILL be fulfilled in Heaven. God is incredible and ALL POWERFUL. He can do ANYTHING! He WILL reward us for our faithfulness and perseverance in ways we cannot even begin to imagine here on earth. SO if your having a rough time for whatever reason think on the eternity of Heaven and the temporary situation here and use it as a bandaid to cover over your hurt and pain...Its a wonderful healing bandaid, try it sometime... I can attest that it works...
