"For He willeth we be aware that our Soul is a life, which life of His Goodness and His Grace shall last in Heaven without end, Him loving, Him thanking, Him praising."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 53)
The life of our soul will last forever with God. We will always be together with Him, in the family circle of the Trinity, loving and thanking and praising Him. We will have this wonderful future not because the way we lived or acted was always good, but because God is always good. We will have this wonderful future not because we earned it by any works or repentance or even faith, but wholly because of God's grace. This everlasting or eternal life is not just defined by its duration; it is also defined by its source. This life is God's life, life that is better than anything we could imagine, with infinite joy, peace, rest and refreshing. It is perfect love. It is perfect relationship. It is the endless and infinitely beautiful fellowship that flows among the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We have been brought into this loving fellowship. We will be endlessly known and loved by God and we will endlessly know and love God. It is like all the best earthly relationships put together and multiplied by infinity! It is a love, acceptance, delight, and oneness like we have never known but have always longed for. For in the arms of the Trinity family, all longings are fulfilled and we find rest and refreshment and joy forever!
"I taste the fullness of joy in your presence. At your right side I experience divine pleasures forevermore!"
Psalm 16:11 (TPT)
A Prayer: You are the home I have always longed for. Real, eternal life is to be in Your presence forever!
