"If I ascend into heaven, You are there....even there Your hand shall lead me...in the way everlasting" Psalm 139:8, 10a, 24b
As I awake to another day on earth I rest my heart in the assurance of what Jesus said in John 14:2,3,4,6 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would of told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know....I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
I find comfort knowing heaven is real, created by God, and prepared by Jesus for each of us who accept His invitation. I find comfort knowing that I will see my husband again. I find comfort, yes, knowing God is there...and we will be in the Presence of God forever. Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 of the experience he had of dying and getting a glimpse of Heaven and he said he heard things so inexpressible that he could not put it all into words.
Heaven is beyond our understanding and comprehension....there will be no fear, no suffering, no death.... and in Heaven...there will be no night.
A Nightless Heaven [29th DAY - The Faithful Promiser]
"There shall be no night there." - Rev. 21:25
My soul! is it night with thee here? Art thou wearied with these midnight tossings on life's tumultuous sea? Be still! the day is breaking! soon shall thy Lord appear. "His going forth is prepared as the morning." That glorious appearing shall dispearse every cloud, and usher in an eternal noontide which knows no twilight. "thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light." Everlasting light! Wondrous secret of a nightless world!-- the glories of a present God! --- the everlasting light of the Three in One, quenching the radiance of all created orbs--superceding all material luminaries. "My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning! The haven is nearing---star after star is quenched in more glorious effulgence---every bound over these dark waves is bringing thee nearer to the eternal shore. Wilt thou not, then, humbly and patiently endure "weeping for the night", in the prospect of the "joy that cometh in the morning?" Strange realities! a world without night---a firmament without a sun; and, greater wonder still, thyself in this world,--a joyful denizen of this nightless, sinless, sorrowless, tearless Heaven! ---- basking underneath the Fountain of uncreated light! (1858)
"Your eyes will see the king in all His beauty and view a land that stretches afar" Isaiah 33:17"
"The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory" Isaiah 60:19 … I can only imagine!
This was one of our favorite songs for many years...and I can only imagine the glory Randy now is walking in....in the Presence of our Lord!
