What Would You Do In Heaven?

My faith was there
Long time ago
But then the darkness came
I fought the shadows of the past
That filled my heart with doubts
For many years my heart was closed
For things I shall desire
Some time ago I let myself
To flow upon love’s fire
Today I see the sparkle of light
That makes my heart feel warm
No matter what it’s going to be
I won’t regret my choice
So now I hope to find the way
To share with what I feel
And wish to say at very end
THANK YOU SUPER GIRL

What do we want most in this life?

We want to have a sturdy house to live in
We want to be able to have all the food we need
We want the works of our hands to last
never to be forgotten
never to rot and fade away

We want to be with the people we love
We want never to hurt them
and never to be misunderstood
We want as much time with them as we possibly could
We want them never to be away
nor to say goodbye
never to grow old
never to be apart.

Now which of these longings could we fulfill
by our own hands?
Which of these could be granted us
in our short journey here on earth?

Only JESUS has the power
only heaven has the answer
to take away our anxieties and fears
and to wipe away our every tear.

Beloved child, life is not a bed of roses.  No matter how I wish to tell you that you could have everything you desire in this life, such cannot be so.

For you are still a pilgrim here my child, and life is but a journey towards your true home.

True, there will be pleasant surprises along the way.  You will meet friends and you will see many wonderful things.  But each beautiful scenery is passing.  Each sunset, no matter how glorious, soon fades away into the night.

But take heart!  For I am with you. And though each scenery you gaze upon is soon but a memory, the pain you feel cannot last as well.

Bear your crosses for now.  Bear them with hope! Know that you are not lost nor are you bound to remain forever wandering and searching for your true home.  Wait for me and I shall take you where I am. And there, in that heavenly home, no one could ever take away your joy!

Love does not keep a record of wrongs.

By this you shall know love,

and by this you shall abide in love.

Love is not trying to know which is better  or more righteous,

or whoever did a greater good

Love does not measure a person’s worth by the past,

nor does he judge her future by her current faults.

Love recognizes only love itself,

kept within the most sacred part of one’s heart.

Love forgives.

Love does not get tired.

Love bears all and conquers all difficulties.

Love covers over a multitude of sins,

for it is far greater than any shortcomings.

Love blots out the other’s transgressions

and receives his beloved

as though she never sinned at all.

There are times when you feel like you’re an outcast.

You may feel you’re not wearing the right clothes,

you’re not speaking the way other people speak,

or people just don’t treat you

the way they treat other people, who are part of their crowd.

Times like that, remember that your worth

could never be measured

by the measure used by such people.

Times like that, remember who you really are-

someone who is cherished,

someone truly special,

someone so loved,

that none could ever take away your JOY.

And this is your joy-

that God loves you so much

He willingly gave His own life for you.

You are never an outcast,

you are set apart.

You are never an outsider,

you were chosen even before you were born.

You are God’s beloved child,

and none could snatch you away from His hand!

As we close our eyes and clasp our hands in prayer, as we lay bear our deepest sorrow and our highest praise, as we move from our anguish and brokenness, and enter the solemnity of God’s Divine Presence, I don’t think we differ ever so greatly. I don’t think we pray ever so differently. Such are our prayers… in heaven’s eyes.

Imagine all your needs being taken care of

Imagine all your prayers being answered

even before you’ve uttered them.

Imagine there’s someone who knows you,

knows you through and through,

and loves you just the same.

Imagine being led

from one joyous moment to the next.

Imagine being surprised,

finding gifts of love here and there

with no expectations of anything in return

except that you receive them,

with a joyful heart.

Now open your eyes and see -

You need not imagine anymore,

for God has been with you all along!

HEAVEN.
