Over the last year I have experienced so much of the beauty of God’s creation. This morning I heard His soft drizzle; last night it was His majestic sunset; I have seen His
natural bridge in Kentucky all the way to His Indian Ocean in South Africa. But, soon and very soon, I will step into the ocean of heaven. I will open my eyes and look into the majestic face of God. And I will listen and hear the praise of His angelic choir.

But all this is conditional on how I live my life from today. So, friend, our most important day on earth will be our last day.

On that final day we will feel His tender touch as He wipes away every tear from our eyes and we realize we will never attend another funeral (Rev.21:4). Death, mourning, crying, and pain will be in the rear-view mirror – even as our own funeral on earth is being conducted.

Oh my, what glory that will be!

As Charles Gabriel wrote: When all my labors and trials are o’er and I am safe on that beautiful shore, just to be near the dear Lord I adore will thru the ages be glory for me.
