“In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?” ESV
I heard an interesting story the other day that made me think about how Jesus must really have MORE for us than we could have imagined. We speak as if this world ends, ans then its the last of what we will ever have. Yet I have always “begged to differ”… check out this story….
A friend of mine had a dream about her daughter who passed away, and indicated that on her dream, her daughter was having the time of her life, taking care of children in heaven, who were obviously filled with tremendous ‘glee’ as a result of her care. My friend says she walked up to the conversation, and Jesus was ending it saying unto her ~”I’m so glad you came… I needed you here to HELP ME with all of these children!”
It made me think of my assignment here on earth, and whether I am really here to endure and just complete an asisgnment on earth, so God can say “well done“… or is He really preparing me for something else, so when I get there - I am fully into my purpose? Hmmm…
The assignment I have here on earth, blesses me and makes me happy, currently – but I am certain the ones I have yet to witness and experience in heaven, will make me MUCH MORE fulfilled. Being here on earth is very hard sometimes. It’s hard at times to imagine God might have so much more for us in a better place. Yet, in actuality its in God’s nature to give us even better than what we have every imagined. It is my prayer that He will give me a taste of of heaven here on earth, but that I also might ~ like Paul become “more and more acquainted with Him“.. so that when I get to heaven I won’t find anything too surprising or strange! I want to come into the TRUE reason for my being while here in earth… and recognize my purpose “beforehand” on earth so my assignment is well accomplished in heaven.
I believe God’s assignments require of you a “Yes Lord” in order that you might work the work of the Kingdom. First, here on earth – then I believe in heaven. God knows you have needs. He won’t leave you without resources. Even more so for those with a work He has called them to do. There are times when we find things to be such a struggle, but if only we would say: “Yes Lord” we would then be able to recognize we have been “Sent “to do His work. Sometimes the work – though it may be a struggle and very challenging, it may be the preparation you will actually NEED in heaven. God wants you preapared,… a bride… prepared for Him when He comes back. Be ye also ready!
Hmmm…spend some time today in consideration. God loves you just that much.
Selah.

I so agree sis jenrene. The challenging part of the “yes Lord” is not the actual “yes”, the challenge part is the process of “yes”. You may be wonder what am I talking about, well let me explain. God allows his children to have a say so in their own lives. If we wasn’t able to create our own pathways then we wouldn’t have the choice to say yes or no. So saying yes to His will is a daily thing. He present new situations to us everyday, it is our job to find the right material within ourselves that best fits the job at hand. While searching your self you may find that you have to use the humbling tool to deescalate the situation. now once you have clearly identified what it is that you must use now here come the “yes” part. you now have the ability to ignore him or glorify him in saying “yes” and allow him to use you for this issue. I have learn that if we change the way we look at our mountains we will be more successful in casting them into the sea. Our faith and ability to desire Him grant us the power to cast mountains out into the deep. Your job is not to climb the mountain.. although it shows that you have the strength to endure hard times, that’s great! however your more powerful than that. Your job is not to walk through the mountain, although it show your ability to know that God will see you through. Your definitely not meant to walk around the mountain, however it does show how far you will go for the Lord. Why do we wonder in the wilderness when God has honored us by allowing us to take on a task for his glory. Stop looking at the problems you face as if its stranger for you to go through them. Count all joy! Realized that God has inquired about you. He found you qualified for the special task, knowing that you will say “yes” and give Him the glory EVERY TIME!. He knew you would humble yourselves, swallow your pride and take the blow all for the sake of the call that’s on your life. So remember saying “yes” is not a one time thing! every time your presented with a task remember God has qualified you, and count it a honor that God hand pick you to give Him glory out of that situation. So use your tools and start casting things into the deep! Don’t make the task longer than what God intended it to be! be blessed!
Inherit the kingdom!
