If I had to describe my ideal life, what would it look like?
Hmmm. . .toughie. There are a million possibilities I could choose from. But I’m going to shoot straight and try to jumble together at least three things that would make my ideal life.
- Talking animals (and I’m not talking about parrots). Imagine how seriously cool it would be to wake up to your dog standing by your bedside and saying, “Good morning, owner! Have a nice sleep?”
- Owning a horse. I don’t own any kind of horse at the moment, but I’m hoping to save enough to get one. Now all I have to do is find a place to house it!
- Everyone getting along and no one having fights. Imagine how neat it would be if no one ever fought together or badmouthed each other!
These, however, are unattainable fantasies (at least some are). But there is good news. There is a perfect life where no one will ever fight, never murder, never steal, never gossip. And that place is called Heaven.
This world has fallen into sin and despair and only God can turn an evil, corrupted universe into a beautiful, glorious haven. If we believe, trust, and obey that Jesus is God, that He died for our sins, was buried, and rose again for us, and that He is the true Son of God and the only Savior of the world, you shall be saved. And when you die, you shall go to that ideal place where nothing bad or sad will ever happen again. It is a world of eternal bliss and beauty beyond our thinking.
