I wanna go to heaven, I haven't met anyone who doesn't want to. But of all the people I've met, only a minor percentage of them are willing to make life count here on earth (by doing things that matter or can outlive them) and there in heaven (by choosing to be there and working with their decision).
We sing these are the days, behold He cometh. Are we ready to die or are we truly ready for the rapture? We hope to hear good and faithful servant from Him to us yet half of our daily lives are not exactly savoury to him. We don't think/feed on the things that make us more like Him. We don't belong here but we aspire to things that do not transcend the here and now. We aren't bothered about perpetuating the Kingdom. Are we gonna save only our skins? Unlike the ambassadors we are supposed to be, we aren't representing. Yet we wanna go home. Are we really ready for Him to come?
Present or absent, is my life, your life, our living a testament to the glory of God? If our lives and living are not dedicated to bringing him glory in all things, at all times what do we wanna go home for? To live is Christ, to die is gain. Is that true for you, me, us? Do we live like we do not have a hope or a future or do we press toward the mark; knowing that He awaits. It's not long now.
Maybe you don't believe in 'heaven'. I tell you that there is a place, such a place that earth can't compare. This isn't all there is. Heaven is an even bigger reality than earth itself.
Be heavenly minded, do earthly good.
Philippians 3, 4
