A hint of spring in the forecast this week and that is what March usually brings. Now, who do you suppose will feel more blessed with the arrival of spring this year, those of us who have enjoyed a fairly mild winter or those who have endured a more epic sort of winter? Those who enjoy a well-rewarded life here may well miss out on the glories of Christ's Heaven. Little can we be satisfied for long with homes here on earth, but those built for us in Heaven by our Lord will satisfy the deepest longings for home we hold in our dear little hearts. The trials we face here prepare us well for the reward of Heaven. Of course the saddest circumstance would be to endure a life of trial and difficulty with no hope of Heaven.
Life here may seem at times like a constant journey through the valley of death's shadow - funny how the spring time change brings that out every year. Yet, rather would we walk through that valley daily with Jesus than to have no hope of living with Him forever in Heaven. Jesus gave us a great promise; one filled with hope and joy for those who will believe. “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:1-2) I'll bet there are no spring time changes there.
Enjoy the morning in Christ!
