Daily Devo: There’s Heaven

Did an ODB today.

The devotion was on the real place called heaven, and focused on the some of the physical elements that are shown to us now through the book of Revelation. I just can’t help thinking that this passage as it refers to the New Jerusalem is symbolic in nature. The other unfortunate part is that I can imagine something looking nice, I just can’t imagine it with the eyes of John. I mean, I don’t even know what Jasper looks like (until a little Googling)!

I suppose I just have a “non-optimal view” of heaven lately. It’s not like I don’t WANT to goto heaven. In fact, the notion, of just “being” with Jesus is very comforting, but just heard to envision. I guess that’s why we call it faith.

Prayer: Lord, help me to live in this reality, serving you. Help me remember the next reality of being with you.
