The Hope of Heaven

A dear friend of mine gave me a book today called "Mommy, Please Don't Cry...There Are No Tears in Heaven...." The picture on the front is a sweet little girl that has a YELLOW..yes YELLOW butterfly on her finger. Thank you so much Susan..This put a smile on my face today!! : )  There is a passage at the end of this book that I had to share:

The Hope of Heaven

Heaven. Is there any place so inviting and at the same time so incomprehensible?  What do you imagine when you think of heave? The Bible tells, us, "No mere man has ever seen, heard, or even imagined what wonderul things God has ready for those who love the Lord" (1 Corinthians 2:9,) Yet, it also tells us that heaven is a place of light, hope and rewards. Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you." How marvelous to know a heavenly home awaits those who trust in Him.

My deep sorrow has given me a better understanding of the Bible and God's promises concerning heaven.  Through the experience of losing my child, I have become more intensely aware of my heavenly home, and I live now in joyful expectation of going there someday. 

I have often sat on my front porch and watched the beautiful sunsets, trying to envision what my little girl might be experiencing in heaven at that very moment; running and laughing, playing with other children, even walking with her great-grandparents. My precious child, and yours, is loved and cared for in that wonderful place called heaven.  They are save and secure in the arms of Jesus. 

Knowing that my daughter is in heaven is one of my heart's greatest treasures.  When I think about being with her again, my eyes often fill with tears of joy.  I live iwth an overhwleming sense of hope and comfort as I anticipate that day.


You, too can experience this same hope, comfort, and joy through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  For the Bible clearly states that all who trust in His love, mercy, and forgiveness by faith are assured of eternal life in heave.  Therefore, you can know with absolute certainty that one day you will be reunited with your child.


A much-loved verse says, "Fo God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Sun, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.: (John 3:16). Jesus Himself said, "I tell you the tuth, whoever hears my word and believes who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemed; he has crossed over from death to life" (John 5:24) . Those who trust in Jesus will be with Him forever in heaven one day!


Many years ago I invited Jesus into my life with a simple prayer like this....


Dear Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God, and that You gave Your life for me on the cross as a payment for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead and that You are alive today in heaven. Please forgive my sins and come into my life as Savior and Lord.
Thank you for the gift of eternal life. Help me to trust you and walk with you here on earth until the day when I walk with you in heven. Amen.


If you have sincerely asked Jesus into your life, He will never leave you. Nothing can separate you from His love, and because of this someday in that glorius place called heaven we will cradle and hold our childern tight, and once agian our hearts will beat as one. 


I look forward to meeting you there!

I LOVE YOU MORGAN RILEE!!!!!
