"When I think about heaven, it is a state in which we are so greatly loved that there is no fear and doubt and disillusionment and anxiety. It's where people truly look at you with the eyes of Jesus - the eyes of an advocate who sees you as good, valuable, and lovable."
Fred Rogers
'Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
Matthew 6:10 (NIV)
Heaven is a place of complete safety and lack of fear. Everyone is accepted, loved and cherished, and honored. Everyone is treated well. Noone feels left out or misunderstood. Pure love saturates the heavenly atmosphere. And we are already part of that reality in Christ and can spread that reality here on earth. We can treat others with kindness and dignity. We can accept others as beautiful creations of God and look on others with the eyes of Jesus, seeing them as good and worthy of care. We can share the love of Christ and speak the words of Christ to people, words that uplift and encourage. We can give a taste of heaven to people here on earth!
A Thought: When I love people, I am bringing heaven to earth.
