The hope of this world has a place for me in HEAVEN.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." - - - John 14:1-3

Yeah. Cool. This place is totally not my home. This earth... this trouble-filled, self-centered, joy-ride-seeking world is not where I belong. No. Because I am God's child through my belief in His Son Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross for my sin, my home is in heaven with Him. And that excites me greatly! I honestly can't wait for the day I see my God face to face! And hear His voice! Ohhhhh. I wanna be there with Him. Yes. I'm also real excited because God has made a special place for me in heaven. Just for me. Not for anyone else. Only. For. Me. And when the Lord takes me up there, He will show me this awesome room that He has prepared for me. And I will live there in contentment just always being in the presence of the God I so love and desire.

And you what else??!! MY LORD IS GONNA GIVE ME A NEW AND BETTER NAME IN HEAVEN!!!!

"To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." Revelation 2:17b

WHOA. I get a new name given to me by God. I wonder what it is! Is it gonna be some foreign name? Or some long name in my language? Is it even going to be a name I can pronounce or even comprehend?! Will I even care? I don't know, but just knowing that God has a sweet crazy awesome stellar name written on a white stone for me in heaven makes me wanna praise Him all the more for loving me so much to give me all that He has already given me and has promised to give me in the future!!!!

But I live here. In this world that seems to have no hope. I smile though! Do you know why?! Because I have the hope of the world inside my heart!!! JESUS CHRIST. Yeah. HE is the hope of the world. He has ALWAYS been that hope. And He will forever be that hope as long as this world exists. So as long as I hold the hope of Christ inside of me, I will tell others of this hope! So anyone who reads this, know that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Savior, and He can change who you are and make you better! He can take away your tears. He can see through your mistakes and mess-ups, and He loves you more than you can ever know and wants you to live with Him in heaven one day!!! That is my Jesus. That is the Lord I choose to serve. Why would I choose another? :D
