We've Got The County Covered

Hello God, it's me, Mara - Dream Vacations

You know, Lord, friends were planning their dream vacation. They showed us brochures, were choosing a date and then were getting ready to purchase tickets. Oh, they had some wonderful plans.

Although some of us may not have a dream vacation here on earth, we do have something wonderful to look forward to that is even greater than the plans of our dear friends. Your word tells us all about it, Lord, IF we believe in You!

Sometimes stress gets unbearable; that’s when we need to pick up our personal brochure (the Holy Bible) and turn to Revelations 21 and 22. It’s right there in black and white, it tells us that IF our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, our tickets are already bought and paid for. Departure time could be any time; with no thought of returning, as this is no two week vacation; and we’ll enjoy it forever! Just think of our dear ones who have already departed.

Looking through our ‘brochure’ it’s hard to visualize a city 1500 miles in length, width and height, with streets of pure gold like transparent glass. There will be ample time to sight-see, and there is no night! Can we even imagine that!? If we thirst, a drink at the spring of the water of life is without cost. The river of water of life is clear as crystal. Can we even fathom what we’ll see, or hear, or taste, Lord, or how it will be? If we’re in anguish, we need to try You, Lord. The road is not easy but the retirement plan is out of the world!

The best part is that we’ll see You, Lord, face to face. We read in Revelations 22:4, “And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.” Come, Lord, Jesus, come!

Love, Mara
