Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. My time on the front porch with the Living God at sunrise was as perfect as this new day. It was clear, calm, and graced with the sounds of music that came from all different kinds of birds from every direction. Those birds made me think of what Heaven will be like when all the “different kinds of birds” sing Praises to the King at the same time! Wow – just imagining the Heavenly choir is so beautiful that it makes me cry. Even though what I imagine Heaven to be like brings me to tears, my imagination can’t hold a candle to what’s in store for me One Day. God says, “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him,” and THAT’S what makes me want everybody to have what I have, to Hear what I hear, and to Know what I know. Isn’t that what your Journey of Faith is like too?

I’m not sure why some people have a Passion to Share Good things with the rest of the world, while some want to hoard all the Good for themselves. It’s a mystery to me. The same “hoarders” that don’t hesitate to show off a new house, or a new car, or to brag about an exotic vacation or an accomplished kid, never even consider “showing off” the Greatest Gift of all. The Treasures of Heaven will make the treasures on earth look like Romper Room one day – but still, SO MANY of the “ones who love Him” never utter a word to the lost about the Greatest Gift of all. It’s hard to watch “the ones who love Him” so easily storing up their own treasures on earth, and yet, they’re blinded to the lost ones destined to lose out on “what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him.” Could it be that arrogance leads them to believe that the lost ones need to either “sink or swim” all on their own? Or maybe they don’t want to “offend” them by talking about such things, BUT from where I sit, Hell is pretty offensive and it will be that way for Eternity.

Perhaps it takes an added measure of Gratitude for the Promise of Heaven one day to Inspire us to share the Good News. Or maybe it takes Genuine Excitement for what is in store “for those who love Him”. Or it just might take understanding what Hell will be like for the lost. I can do my best to describe Heaven from just a few things I know based upon the Description in His Word…and my Passion is usually enough to make a lost person at least a little curious about what I have. But if there is anything I wish I could SHOW a lost person, it would be a video of what Hell is like. For as much as we can’t begin to imagine Heaven, we can’t begin to imagine Hell either. Hell is a place of torment and “gnashing of teeth” like none of us can begin to imagine…and the torment will go on for eternity. There isn’t a “bad” person that I’d ever wish Hell upon, and there isn’t a “bad” person that I want to leave behind if I can help it. That’s what the Compassion of Christ looks like and THAT’S why I do what I do.

It was heavenly at sunrise, that’s for sure, and I savored the Glory of my God while I basked in the beauty of this old farm. The Beauty I see defies words! But more than anything else on this beautiful new day, I did my best to imagine what Heaven will be like, and what I imagined made me WEEP WITH JOY. I won’t be keeping to myself what I know about Heaven for those who believe, and I’ll never hoard the Truth from the lost world. I don’t deserve the Greatest Gift…none of us do. I didn’t do anything to earn it – It’s Free, it’s PRICELESS, it’s ETERNAL, and IT’S MINE, and THAT’S why I want EVERY lost person to Know what I know so that they can look forward to Heaven with excitement too!

“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him.”

How about you?
