Be Ready - Be Prepared

[doc329]

We all at times dream what heaven will be like, but we are limited by word pictures with which we are familiar.
For example, I am looking forward to an eternity without aches and pains.
What about you? What is your heavenly fantasy?
No matter what we choose it probably won't be anything like we imagine.

Remember when when you were a kid, you were all excited about getting a box of Cracker Jack, but you had to open it to find the prize.
Heaven is the same, you will have to be there to know exactly how it will be.

All I know is that whatever God has lined up for me will be OK, and any earthly ideas I have will not matter one single bit.
So, what's the message? BE READY!

1 Corinthians 2:9 [nit]
"no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." That describes the situation very well.
So BE PREPARED.

Be Careful for nothing
Be Prayful for everything
Be Thankful for anything

In His Service
Doc

Yes, Heaven is a great reward for the faithful..Rev 21 gives some insight!

Being ready is the main point.
It is not so important about a rapture but be ready if you meet death face on.
My mother is in her late 70's and even though she is a believer she is scared.
Death terrifies her.

If one is truly saved, there is nothing to fear. We may fear death in this life, but will not the moment it happens.

That is a very good reply.
