BEYOND IMAGINATION
There are many rooms in my Father’s house; I am going there to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2
Rest on this earth is a false rest. Beware of those who urge you to find happiness here; you won’t find it. Guard against the false physicians who promise that joy is only a diet away, a marriage away, a job away, or a transfer away.
Try this. Imagine a perfect world. Whatever that means to you, imagine it. Does that mean peace? Then envision absolute tranquility. Does a perfect world imply joy? Then create your highest happiness. Will a perfect world have love? If so, ponder a place where love has no bounds. Whatever heaven means to you, imagine it. Get it firmly fixed in your mind.
And then smile, as the Father reminds you, No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.
When it comes to describing heaven, we are all happy failures.
