one of the questions that keeps popping into my head lately is this:
do i really believe Heaven is better?
and as if God just wanted to reaffirm this, one of the feature stories on Relevant Magazine's website this week is about exactly that.
while i profess my belief in God and pray fervently for people to come to faith. do i really believe that being saved and securing a spot in Heaven is as big a deal as it really is? or am i just content to believe that i am safe in faith and can now just enjoy living in sin and messing up during the remainder of my time on earth?
i know that i do not fully understand how much better Heaven is going to be. i know that i also don't spend any time figuring that out and really understanding what it is i am signing up for. if i believe so desperately in God and know so well all the blessings and encouragements he provides - why do i stop short by not really caring about when i actually get to meet him face to face. shouldn't that be all consuming? shouldn't that freak me out and make me crazy?
the name of the article is "Everyone Wants to Go to Heaven, Just Not Yet".
why would i ever be ok with the fact that that describes me?
