I Go to Prepare a Place For You

Today I want to share some thoughts from church on Sunday. The pastor's message was on the thought where Jesus said "I go to prepare a place for you" and he went to several different passages that talk about heaven. The bulk of it was in revelation. As, he talked, I saw heaven in a way that I never have before. You see, I am a perfectionist. More specifically a discouraged perfectionist. This means that I want everything to be perfect but obviously in this world, it cant be, so then I get discouraged. So thinking of heaven from this perspective was amazing. All my fellow perfectionists will appreciate this. Just think...in heaven, there will be no dirt, no dust, no cobwebs, no stains. Nothing will ever break. Nothing will every rust or wear out. In heaven there will only be the finest, purest gold, silver, pearls, and precious stones. Scripture tells us that there will be a street made of gold, so fine that it shines like glass. We may have to live temporarily in this fallen, corrupted world, but if we have trusted Christ as our Saviour, He is preparing for us a perfect place where there is no corruption, only pure beauty.
