Set GPS for Heaven

Heaven. 

Where do we look for it? 
How do we get there? 
What is it like?

Make no mistake heaven is an awesome destination. All we are told about heaven lets us know that it is a truly spectacular place filled with the unimaginable. That makes it really hard to imagine.
So hard that we might forget that the essence, the key to heaven is not actually heaven at all, but God himself. The real reason that heaven is all that it is cracked up to be is not because of the shiny streets of gold, but because of the powerful radiance of God. Heaven does not exist without God.

“It is not that where heaven is, there is God, but that where God is, there is heaven” --theologian Gerhard Ebeling

Further then; we may approach heaven and lightly sample it even now, here on earth. If we are earnestly seeking God then His life grows in us and little glimpses of heaven begin to show up where ever we are. Set the GPS for Heaven and then look around to see that you have arrived already...not yet.

God for us.
God with us. 
God in us. 

Live the pursuit!
