Prepare to Party!

… as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.
Isaiah 62:5 (NIV)

We just don’t get it, do we? We fail to understand just how much God loves us, how much He cares, and how He longs to dote on us.

We are so focused on our tiny concerns we have lost the big picture: as believers in Christ, we will spend eternity with God. Even now, He is preparing a place for us so great, we can’t even imagine it. The problem is, and this is the real issue: we don’t even try!

Let’s come to understand this great truth: God is crazy about us. The Scripture says, “For God SO loved the world” … He found a way to rescue us. And now, I think He looks for any excuse to bless us—here certainly, but in eternity, most definitely. So understand this: life is short, it can be hard, but all of heaven cheers us on to our finish line.

Let’s live for Christ … and get ready to party!

Lord, open our eyes to Your grace, and prepare our hearts for celebration. Amen.
