Heaven

Today in church Steve Jolley spoke about Heaven. So what is heaven?  I don't know.  I can't fathom it. But, I can guess.  Is it a place where I can be who I am with no worries of offending or being offended?  Is it a place where we can really love each other and really let others love us? Is it a place where suffering is no longer? Is it a place where we are all free of these bodies?

In that final moment of judgement is there really judgment? Do we really judge the child that knows no better or has so much fear they don't know how to express? No. So, would God be so harsh on the unbeliever?  I do not know. It is not my call to make.

I do know that God is real.   I know that my maker is there.  I know there is a mystery to unfold. I know that there is a plan.  Often I look at events in my life, both good and bad…. things I am proud of and things that bring my soul shame…. things that I had no control over and things that I had complete control over, but it all plays out now.  God was always there.  God always will be.

Yes. I will keep being imperfect.  Yes, I will keep making mistakes.  Yes. God will grace me with forgiveness over and over again.

In the beginning there was God. God is.  The rest… I don't know and… well,  I don't really care.
