Everything In heaven is Alive

Death is not the worst thing,

Where you’re going can be the worst thing.

From a guy that died and went to heaven and came back

Here : on earth

“This place smells worse than you think it does,

The air is thicker than you think it is,

The lights are more dim than you can imagine they are,

This place is a lot more run down than you may think.

The smells are more dense than you can imagine.”

I’m not religious, I’m a child of God.

We don’t realize how good we have it.

The road block is that we feel entitled.

Obedience.

All you are in heaven is obedience.

The reverence and Awe that happens when we stand before the Creator.

We just want to revere Him.

Here on earth we take our own liberties,

we have our sense of entitlement here.

Entitlement is the dangling carrot 🥕 it’s a false deception that distracts us from what’s true about our real freedoms.

The opposite of entitlement is serving others.

It’s Placing others needs as more important than our own.

The beauty of this is that for it to truly be successful it has to go both ways.

You see, Ironically, If only one person is serving, then that’s creating a sense of entitlement for the receiver.

Therefore, the conclusion would be that if each of us are serving each other and we’re each thinking of the other as more important than ourself, then the freedom really starts to flows like a beautiful mountain creek trickling alongside nature while glistening in the sunlight.

It’s a simple beauty of life.

Obedience is the key that unlocks the need for order in our life.

It’s what puts humility and a good pride in its right place in our life.

We feel like we’re owed something — we’re not owed anything.

God doesn’t owe us anything — we owe Him everything.

It’s all about Him not us.

It’s easy to believe this and to know that when we truly understand how much great love He is toward us we might get His great love for us.

It is truly A Great love.

Everything. In. Heaven. Is. Alive.

Everything.
