Today the veil of separation is
formally closed between my mother and me, but it won’t last long. A while ago I
was contemplating the death of two longtime friends who died during the same
week and it hit me, I now have more people I know and love in heaven than I do
on earth. It was in that moment my view of heaven transitioned to a new level. Until
that occasion heaven had mostly been a theological reality and a missional goal,
but in that time of reflection heaven became an emotional reality. Lord of all Majesty
and Power, soon we will see You face to face and there, we Your children, shall
ever dwell together with You!
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
