In a gorgeous world, shadows are people and people are feelings: open and aired, real and sincere. In a gorgeous world, rain drops are candy, and candy makes the heart whole. In a gorgeous world, plants and animals are our friends and companions, and we all speak the same language; language isn’t hurtful.

In a gorgeous world we all look different, and it’s okay, because being unique is lovely and right. In a gorgeous world, it’s always spring, and it’s always sunny, and there’s no need to sleep because there’s no stress and no night – only shady palm trees or oak trees in meadows or on beaches, where we can enjoy a gorgeous life.

Life doesn’t end in a gorgeous world, and enjoying life is the purpose and meaning of life. We all will work together, in a gorgeous world, and will appreciate harmony. We will all be equal parts of one team, working diligently in unison, for the target of serving our King forevermore, a concept which people living in a gorgeous world will lastingly be able to comprehend.

We can know and be known by all in a gorgeous world, because nothing will separate us from our Maker, who knows all and is all. Nothing will separate our Maker from us. We will feast with the King of Kings, we will dance with the angels and we will love with the greatest Love of all.

We will be clothed with wealth and prosperity in a gorgeous world, and in a gorgeous world, the least of men will be the greatest. The humble will be magnificent; the weak will be bold; the righteous will be heirs to God’s throne, and the workers will reap their reward in full.

In a gorgeous world, there will be no sadness, no sorrow, no fear of tomorrow. There will be no bills to pay, no government to worry about, no sickness to prevent, no pain or negative words, emotions and actions. In a gorgeous world, we will exist with the saints that have gone on before us, and we will eternally sing praises to the Lord.

All who live in a gorgeous world will have earned the desires of our hearts, because to enter into a gorgeous world, we must first overcome the old world, this world. We will forever know glory and happiness, and our joy will be complete in a gorgeous world. We will want for nothing, we will question nothing for everything will be wholly made known and undeniably perfect.

In a gorgeous world we will cohabitate in perfection and bliss, with a perfect and almighty God.

Revelation 21:1-8 says, “Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’”

The passage continues with, “He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ He said to me: ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.’”

The gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus, who said in John 14:2, “In my Father’s house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you.” I have claimed my place, and I hope you have as well.

    Speaking of eternal life…….

    “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
