No matter how old we live to be...even if we make it to 100 + years, life is still short compared to heaven and the rest of eternity. Why is it that we so often live as if we are going to be on earth forever and that eternity is so far away. So far away that it in fact doesn't seem real and doesn't seem important. When we are young we have every expectation that we will grow old here even though we know we have not been promised tomorrow or to even finish today for that matter. As we continue to add years to our lives here on earth with those years usually come a deeper understanding of why we are here in the first place. For most of us who are Christians we know that every day, every month, every year we live puts us that much closer to heaven. I read today where someone wrote, "Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die to get there". Well, unless we're in the group that is raptured, we are all going to die and if we are saved we are all going to live forever.
Billy Graham, of course didn't just travel through this world. He made profound changes in the lives of those he met as he journeyed through this world. It's not going to be long before his earthly journey is completed and he will get to go home.
Aren't you glad that life is short and heaven is forever instead of the other way around? We may have a great life here on earth and we all have family and friends we would not want to leave but compared to heaven? Well, there really isn't anything to compare to heaven.
Life is short and heaven is forever. Thank you Jesus for this promise.
thank you for this and may God Bless You
