Closer to Heaven.

Part of my daily devotion this morning mentioned, “strive to want to become more like Jesus, no matter what the cost.”  How many of us are willing to lay our life down daily for the Creator of the universe?   This means laying aside all doubts about the future, all fears of what could happen today or tomorrow, and the 'what-ifs' of life.  It means living for today, this minute, this moment in time, for the One who laid His life down for us.  

Think of it.  If Jesus had not died on the cross for me, I wouldn't be writing this today.  I wouldn't be blessed to have a family and Christian brothers and sisters to share life with. 

 This world and these times are so uncertain, but, yet, you will meet people, Christians, who have a smile on their face and love in their heart.  Why is that?  Because we know that we don't have control over anyone or anything.  We know the One who flung the stars in the sky and created man from the dust of the earth, will prevail in the end.  

And when that day comes, all the tears and fears we've had here on earth will all disappear.  I don't know about you, but I am so looking forward to this day.

 Stay faithful, my friends, we're just a breath away from Heaven!
