Wanna Go to Heaven? Do you want to go to heaven? Some don’t! Some do, but not now! Wanting to go to heaven won’t get you there! Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people! Those who desire to go to heaven… Have a “Lord come” mentality (1 Cor. 16:22; Rev. 22:20; 2 Peter 3:12; Phil 3:20; 1 Cor. 1:7) But it is balanced with a desire to serve the Lord and others while here on earth (Phil. 1:23-24)

Wanna Go to Heaven? Heavenly satisfaction is not found in worldly experiences. Ask Moses! (Hebrews 11:24-27) Or Solomon! (Ecclesiastes 2:1-11) It is only eternity with God that will satisfy our souls. He has put eternity in our hearts (Eccl. 3:11). We were made by Him and for Him (Col. 1:16). “Man’s all” is to serve God here so that we will be prepared to face Him there! (Eccl. 12:13-14)

Dreaming the hours Away Our desire to go home impels our journey! (Heb. 11:13-14, 16) A heavenly minded person will do a lot of earthly good! But the world might think he is crazy! (Mark 3:21) God has been mindful of us (Psalm 8:3-5; 139:17-18). He wants us to be family for eternity. He calls us to His home!

Walking Alone at Eve Closing my eyes at eve and thinking of Heaven’s grace, Longing to see my Lord, yes meeting Him face to face; Trusting Him as my all where-so-ever my footsteps roam, Pleading with Him to guide me on to the spirits’ home! O for a home with God, a place in His courts to rest, Sure in a safe abode with Jesus and the blest; Rest for a weary soul once redeemed by the Savior’s love, Where I’ll be pure and whole and live with my God above! -- William Washington Slater (1917) https://markwoodward.org/2012/06/17/sunday-hymns-walking-alone-at-eve/
