“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.  Romans 5:1-2

 I sometimes try to imagine the mansion that is being prepared for me in Heaven. I wonder if it will have lots of cupboards, and every time I open a door, there will be a new surprise to find!

 I wonder what it will be like to join with the angels in worshipping God, in the very presence of God!

 I know that whatever I try to imagine will be nothing like the real thing because, as it is written, eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things God has prepared for them that love Him.

The hope we have is very real, but it’s not only a future hope.  Right now, we have an abundance of grace and  blessings from our Father in Heaven; Zephaniah 3:17: “The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”  He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins, so that we can  have peace with God now, when we rest our faith in Jesus.

Thank You Father for strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Amen.
