So many wonderfull posts, deeply appreciate the kind words of support. When I first started thinking about this my mind really started wandering. Does an angel come for you, do you float above your body before being drawn into the light? Do loved ones greet you, can you even recognize them, does your relationship with the Lord change.
What I think is it's like the boosm of Abraham, the opposite of hell that holds the disembodied souls of the children of perdition near the lake of fire. There is no pain, hunger or fatigue because you no longer have a body. I can't believe your alone but how fellowship works is a mystery to me.
Like all creation we will wait in anxious expection for the child of God to be revealed and the Son of Man to return in power and glory. I believe the filling of the Spirit will be complete, God's grace will emerse us and the love of God will transcend every fiber of our being.
The eye has not seen nor the ear heard what God has prepared for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. Most imortantly we are with the Lord. I don't know, is this when we see him as he is?
I know I can be gone tomnorow or live to be hundred, whatever the case, God's will be done. I'm grateful for the time I have to get my affairs in order.
Again, some truely wonderfull responses, I smile at everyone. We don't know but we walk by faith not by sight. I pray that our thoughts of heaven teach us to set our hearts on the Lord and reaffirm our commitment to cherish and build up the body of Christ. God's blessings on each and every one of you, be of good courage, God's grace is sufficient.
Grace and peace,
Mark
