Any one of us could probably on and on with bad things that go on in this life on this world.  And while none of us has experienced all of the negative things that occur during our lives, we all have experienced many of them.  And we have probable been guilty of some of them ourselves.  Since man got kicked out of the Garden of Eden, we’ve never experienced–or even been able to imagine–the perfection that God had given Adam and Eve.

Wouldn’t it be absolutely wonderful to be able to experience that again?  To have no sin, suffering, sorrow or pain. No persecution, division, disunity, or hate.  Think of a life with no quarrels, arguments , disappointments or sadness.  Can you even begin to imagine a life filled with perfect love, perfect knowledge, perfect pleasure and perfect comfort?  All in all, it would be a life of perfect joy.

Too bad we don’t have a place like that.  Oh, wait… we do!  It’s called Heaven.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. (I Corinthians 2:9).

Make sure you’re ready to eventually arrive there.  Because anywhere else will be all the negative parts of my “druthers”.
