What Will You Notice?

I woke up this morning with yesterday's message from church in my heart...well, a part of it. The part when Pastor Vance spoke of verse one in Revelation 21 and talked us through the significance of John first noticing that there was no more sea in heaven. John tells us there is a new heaven and a new earth, and then follows that with, "...and there is no longer any sea."

I can't possibly do Pastor Vance's message any justice, so please go to www.hopechurchonline.com and listen to it this week! I do know that as he guided us through a visual of where John was - on an island that he could walk the length and width of in a day - I could see all that John saw day after day - water. Water consumed his thoughts. Water was all he had to look at besides the ground beneath him and the sky above. As Pastor Vance shared, that sea represented separation - from his family, from his friends...from life. When God gave him a glimpse of Heaven, what consumed him on earth was the first thing he noticed missing in heaven.

Right there in service, my heart asked, "What will be the first thing you notice is missing when you get HOME to Heaven?"

This morning, that same question entered my thoughts, "What's the first thing you will notice?" Will I be overwhelmed at the amount of confidence flooding my heart and soul because I will notice all the insecurity is gone? Will I be flattened by the amount of courage overtaking my being because I will notice there is not an ounce of fear? Hmmm...

Saints, what surrounds you here on earth that might be the first thing you notice is missing when you get HOME to Heaven?


Father, help me to change what earthly things surround my heart and mind on this day! Let my heart be fixed on the right thing going forward so that when I come home, just like John, I notice things that will matter in eternity. Amen!

    Here I simply share my life and pour out whatever emotions I have...well almost, some things need to be kept between me and Jesus (heehee). We all need a safe place to spill out what we think and feel and this is mine. My prayer is that you find some sort of encouragement for your own life and also find this a safe place to share your heart.
