"For He beholdeth His heavenly treasure with so great love on earth that He willeth to give us more light and solace in heavenly joy, in drawing to Him of our hearts.."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 86)
We are a treasure to God. We are valuable, lovely, wanted, precious and amazing. And we are His heavenly treasure. We are born from above, born of the Spirit, new creations full of Christ's resurrection life. We are citizens of heaven. We are not from around here. We belong in heaven. God wants to give us more light and rest by giving us more and more heavenly joy, drawing us away from looking at the sorrow and trouble here on earth to the beauty of heavenly glory found in Him. He draws us to see, think and know as He knows, with heaven's perspective. We are not trying to get to heaven, for we are already there in Christ, since we were raised with Christ and co-seated with Him in the heavenly places. We are living from heaven. We are bringing heaven to earth at every moment that we live here on earth. And Christ is living and reigning through us, love is living and reigning through us, bringing the light and healing of God's love to everyone we meet. We are manifesting the life of Christ so that everyone can see that they are heavenly treasures that have Christ within them, too. Thus more and more grace will spread to all, with more and more love, for more and more joy and more and more peace! And heaven will keep coming to earth till love and life fully win out over all darkness and death!
"All things work for your enrichment so that more of God’s marvelous grace will spread to more and more people, resulting in an even greater increase of praise to God, bringing him even more glory!"
2 Corinthians 4:15 (TPT)
A Prayer: Thank You that Your love is spreading to more and more people and that all will be well!
