Eternity
My Precious Child,
You are always in my watch and care. You make me smile as I watch your life and see your life constantly bringing honor to My name. Thank you for making Me look good.
I cannot wait for the day when we will be together forever. I long for that day, but first I have a few assignments for you. While you are busy working on earth, I will be busy in heaven putting the finishing touches on a mansion I have built just for you. You should see this amazing picture of craftsmanship! It’s magnificent!
I know how you love the mountains and the ocean. I took six days to create the earth and you have been awestruck by its beauty. You are continually commenting about the awesomeness of creation. Well, I am taking even more time to prepare your eternal home in heaven, so you can imagine how marvelous your forever home is going to be. Eyes have never seen nor have ears heard the marvelous things I have in store for you.
Oh, I know you would have liked to build the mansion yourself, and in a sense, you have. I’ve been keeping good records on your life. After you were saved by grace, I instructed my most proficient craftsmen to build this mansion based on the dedication and quality of work you are doing for My kingdom on earth. Your labor of love has not gone unnoticed, and it has translated into more than you could ever imagine.
Every time I look at your mansion, I get excited. It is exquisite. It stands five stories tall and has huge stone pillars with various levels of balconies at different locations around the palace. The towers at each corner are topped with golden roofs. The pillars are covered in gold and have rings of diamonds around them. The tall arched windows wrapped around it let in a constant glow of light that splashes on the beautiful hardwood floors. I have decorated each room with the most ornate furnishings.
Decorative pools and fountains fill the courtyards. The grass is lush and green and I have planted huge beds of flowers, even hanging gardens that cascade from the surrounding balconies. Numerous trees, straight and sturdy, are spread out over your estate, with a small lake tucked at the edge of a grove of fir trees. On one side a magnificent willow sways in the light breezes. I’ve had the lake stocked with a variety of species of fish, and I even had a sailboat built just for you.
Your eternal estate is surrounded by lush green hills speckled with wildflowers. You’ll find the top of the hills covered in groves of firs and cedars, and the powdery peaks are always dusted with freshly fallen snow. Don’t let the white snow frighten you. It’s not the same type of cold snow you saw on earth. It’s mainly for decoration and has no deadly chill when you touch it.
In the Celestial City, the temperature never drops below 70 degrees and never rises above 75. The water is always warm to touch, but when it passes over your lips, it becomes cool and refreshing.
I’ve arranged for you to have at your beck and call a large number of the most majestic horses in My kingdom. I look forward to many long rides together.
I cannot wait to see the joy on your face as we stand on the bluffs overlooking the sea and listen to the sound of the waves crashing.
When you arrive, we will walk together through the gardens and sit in one of your beautiful courtyards, all the time in the presence of your forever friends. In my house, I have many mansions and plenty of room for all who call upon My name. And while I look forward to spending time, just the two of us in conversation, I most certainly am looking forward to meeting your friends and watching you enjoy their company in this awesome place.
Words are inadequate to describe your new home and I’m not even finished preparing for your arrival. I can’t wait to see the expression on your face when you see all the surprises I have in store for you. You can be confident of this—if you give a cup of water in My name, I will reward you. I promise to bless you for every labor of love you perform for Me. Keep being faithful to My name. I don’t expect perfection. I will bless your efforts as you continue to grow in my ways. You must hold fast to the right, hold up your shield of faith, and endure hardness as a good soldier because your adversary is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
I know you would like to come home now, but that would mean sacrificing all the friendships you have yet to make and relationships you have yet to build. And besides your mansion is not finished yet, when your work is done your mansion will also be done and I am looking forward in great anticipation for that day!
Be faithful to my name, My child, and never quit growing in my ways! The day you begin to trust in your own wisdom and to ignore my directions is the day the work on your mansion will cease.
Do not try to build a mansion there; if you do I will be forced to give your mansion here to another. They who build mansions in that life and begin to live in riches, while ignoring the work they were put there to do, show themselves unworthy of my Kingdom. Do not sacrifice what you can have for all eternity for a few short years of luxury and pleasure in that life.
You see, if you become comfortable in that world, your comfort will transition into weakness, weakness into apathy, and apathy into death. Not the death that brings you to me but the death that takes you from me.
As you spend time in My presence, I will stamp my image on your heart. People will see Me through your life of humility and love. You are My hands and feet.
You must be wise as a serpent, but harmless as a dove, because the wicked one is going to set traps for you. Be alert. Don’t allow the great deceiver to slow you down.
My child, do not be a people pleaser. You play only to the audience of One. Don’t get too attached to your surroundings. You’re not going to be there long. You’re a day closer to home than you were yesterday.
Don’t hoard treasures while living on earth. Lost souls receive their reward on earth and have no rewards in the Celestial City. They collect a lot of stuff, trust in their riches, and have a false security. They prepare for retirement but aren’t prepared for eternity. Don’t be deceived. Store your treasures in heaven.
I have an assignment for you during your journey on earth. I want you to have eternal perspective and heavenly vision. You are to march to the beat of a heavenly drum. I will provide all you need and even give you special blessings along the way, but your greatest rewards will come after you cross chilly Jordan. I will be waiting for you.
Don’t be too comfortable there. Minister my love to the ones I send your way. Spread sunshine to others and tell Me the rest. My yoke is easy and My burden is light. I will never leave you nor forsake you. There will be days you cry, but I will not leave you comfortless. Your weeping may endure for a night, but My joy will come and fill you to overflowing in the morning.
Be strong, my child. I have confidence in you. I will never lose faith in you. When I was knitting you together in your mother’s womb, I anointed you to be completely mine. Remain faithful. Keep my face constantly before you. Don’t grow weary in the work of love. The dark world is craving authentic light. Shine for Me. Show them the way to the Celestial City. You may be the only Bible they will read.
I love you with all My heart and I can’t wait until you get home.
See you soon.
Father
