When I think of the words, ‘Let Heaven Come,’ instantly what comes to mind is:
A kingdom founded on the characteristics of God. A superior reality being invited into our current reality. The divinity of God colliding with humanity. I think about eternal hope. A hope that has no end…
I think about the Love and Light of God, the Father, that are not confined by anything, that are not held back by fear or darkness. A place where Love is infinite, forgiveness resets the standard, and people see themselves through the sacrifice and justice of Jesus Christ, wholehearted and fully healed.
When I stop for even a moment, just to think upon the hopeful reality of Heaven, my heart feels more connected to the mercy of God, to His Spirit moving in and around me. I think about Jesus’ magnificent and humble sacrifice.
When I pause to reflect on Heaven, I anticipate a redemptive end to the story I’m in. It gives me power to live in the moment, fueled by a certainty of a merciful future. It propels me towards kindness.
What I believe and hope for when we invite Heaven to come into our world, is a transformational encounter with the Love of God. The kind of encounter that shapes us, shifts our understanding of the everlasting, beautiful, loving nature of God, and turns every day into an explosive, powerful adventure.
