The Longest Summer

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."

1 Corinthians 2:9



It is about this time of year kids, and teachers, look forward to summer vacation and the long days of potentially doing nothing! They imagine how great those things could be. As a Christian I look forward to summer and to "the longest summer", heaven.

I look forward to seeing the Lord face to face

I look forward to being reunited with those I love who have gone home to the Lord before me

I look forward sharing in the glory of Jesus and his angels.

But I can't even begin to imagine the great things that God has prepared for me. They are far more glorious than anything I can dream or imagine. So let me anticipate being surprised and live with passion for the cause of the Kingdom knowing that any loss, any wound, any trouble, will "not be worth comparing to the glory to be revealed in us" (Rom. 8:18).


Thank you, Father, for preparing a place of glory for me with you in heaven. I believe it is far greater than anything I could ever imagine. Thank you, Jesus, for going back to heaven to prepare
that place for me. I look forward to the day I stand in your presence and praise you with the angels on the Adventure in Middle Grove.
