Take a moment right now and try to imagine what heaven is going to be like. Imagine a world where there is no more sickness or suffering or pain. Imagine a world where there will be no need for doctors or hospitals or armies or police services. Imagine a world where all divisions are mended; divisions between countries, cultures and divisions within families. Imagine a world free from the fear of death where everyone is restored to their original health, vitality and innocence. This is the future Jesus has promised, a future that more than makes up for all the hardship of the present. Every time you pray “Thy Kingdom Come” tell Jesus you are placing your hope in Him and in His redemption. Tell Him that you believe that He has a place for you in His kingdom. Then go about your day trying your best to bring that kingdom into your life and into your family a little more each day. Try to keep your eyes fixed on your heavenly home and you will find yourself becoming more joyful. You will find that God has all the grace you need to face the challenges of life and still not lose sight of your hope in heaven.
