This world is a temporary exile in which we are currently pitching our tents. While the Creator God, with His Spirit, has made His home in our hearts, we still consider this world are current habitat. A day is quickly approaching, however, when our habitats will change...and we will change. We will be inhabiting heaven, the throne room of God. This is our eternal home. Let us constantly set our hearts and minds on things above.
Often, I imagine myself in the eternal city of God, drinking from the river of the water of life with the perfected souls of the righteous. We look upon the King who sits on the throne. The light of His glory fills every crevice of existence, and we declare with perfect reverence His holiness and worthiness forever & ever. This is our reward, keep pressing on and keep praying for people! Don't be afraid of persecution...continue worshipping the Lamb with all of your life!
