But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. — 1 Corinthians 2:9

Kids are excited about Christmas, going to Disneyland, and summer vacation. They think about how good those things might be. Christians look forward to heaven and dream of seeing the Lord face to face, being reunited with loved ones who have already gone home to the Lord, and sharing in the glory of Jesus and his angels. But we can’t even begin to think about all the wonderful things God has in store for us. They are much more beautiful than we could ever dream or imagine. So let’s expect to be surprised and live with passion for the cause of the Kingdom, knowing that any loss, wound, or trouble will “not be worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:18)

Prayer

Thank you, Father, for making sure I have a place of glory in heaven with you. I think it’s much better than anything I could think of. Thank you, Jesus, for going back to heaven to get ready for me. I can’t wait until I can stand before you and praise you with the angels. I praise and thank you in the name of Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
