** New! **
We think of many things during the course of any given day. Even while we are inactive our minds are constantly processing. At some point we have most likely contemplated what happens to us after our demise in this life.
These thoughts may prompt hope of a future existence that lies ahead (2 Corinthians 5:1; Luke 23:43). Is this something unreasonable to believe? Not at all, it is all layed out for us in Scripture.
In other words, He has given us directions that lead to His Heavenly home. A "path of life," if you will. What was once only vaguely hinted at in the O.T., has now been revealed to all by Jesus Christ's appearance here on earth (2 Timothy 1:10).
To some this may sound intimidating and far-fetched, but it isn't. You see, Jesus knows us better than we know ourselves. After all, He created us in love and wants only the best for you and I (Romans 5:8).
In His own words, Jesus left us directions how to find him. There is nothing secretive or mystical involved at all. Jesus doesn't play games when it comes to his relationship with us. If we don't find Him, it's because we aren't looking (Jeremiah 29:13).
It's not necessary for me to go into detail here about the "hows" and "whys" of forming a connection with Christ. He has already said it better than I ever could. What I can suggest, however, is to read His Words and let His Spirit safely and lovingly guide you to Him (Psalm 5:8).
Scripture: Hebrews 11:16; 2 Peter 3:13; Acts 4:12; Jeremiah 32:17; Psalm 124:8
Prayer: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Peace and joy,
Shannon
