Day 363 - Heaven is…

Cathy Anderson


“And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,” - Revelation 21: 3 NASB

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will name Him Immanuel.” - Isaiah 7:14 NASB

God has always desired to be in perfect fellowship with us. Since before He breathed man into being, He knew all that would need to occur for this to happen. Life here is a result of the allowance God has given us to have free will. He wants us to choose Him. After we live this life here on earth and choose to receive the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins, then and only then will we be able to receive the ultimate reward, which is as close as we can be to Him eternally. That reward is to be in the perfect presence of our Father and Lord!

Keep your eyes on Jesus. When the world tries to distract you, fix your gaze on Him. That may sound oversimplified, but we will soon learn that it is the simplest thing that takes work. It must be your life goal! Seek Him, and you will find Him, and all these things will be added unto you (Jeremiah 29:13)!


Next Steps

  • Think about it: How has increasing my understanding of Heaven affected how I view my life?

  • Action Step: Take inventory of the last year and all the topics we have “increased” in together. Identify the topic that blessed you and/or challenged you the most.
