What is the most glorious place that you have ever visited? Name a location that has inspired you and brought you overwhelming peace and joy. For me, it is the ocean. As a kid in Southern California, I often went to the beach to relax, enjoy the waves, and find peace in the ocean views.
Revelation 22:1-2 says, “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city, also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
As those who trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, this is the scene that awaits us in heaven. The Lord has filled the earth with His glory, but what awaits the true believer, in heaven glory even surpasses what we find on earth. That is because we will dwell in the presence of God Almighty. All pain and suffering will be gone and He will heal us completely. Use the anticipation of this glory to motivate you to follow Jesus closely and to serve others.
