Prepare a place for us

Last night I was talking to a good friend about the Christian life and what it means. At one point I said, "Heaven freaks me out." I did not meant that in a bad way but simple by saying that once I day the rest of my life is in this one place. There is a place that I can't even begin to imagine what this place of glory and pure joy will be. In fact those two word don't even come close to describing what Heaven is going to be like. There are no earthly words that describe how amazing and awesome Heaven is and the God who is creating this place.

The Bible states that Jesus is preparing a place for us. Heaven is supposed to come down to Earth. Last night I had a realization and I even think of it as I am doing my job today, but Jesus is living in me. The gift that God gave me is the gift I am supposed to use to make the Earth that heavenly place one day. I think that the world sometimes thinks that it is getting so bad, that God is going to come back when we can't do anything anymore but I feel like God is going to come back when we are finally doing our job, when we have finally prepared that place. Jesus lives in each and every person and with that we are supposed to use the talents and gifts that our Almighty Creator gave us and begin to help prepare the place He has given us. This make me long to live out my Christian walk so much more because I am supposed to help prepare the place God is longing for us to have. Heaven on Earth. The thought is still too much to comprehend and I don't know if I will be able to comprehend what God's plans are ever.
