Monday's Moment

Revelation 21:22-27

²² And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

²³ And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

²⁴ And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

²⁵ And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

²⁷ And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Marvelous Monday Morning to all of you!

My weekend was great and I hope you can say the same about yours. Today's spoonful of thankfulness is for a city not made with hands - Heaven! My soul is longing to go there, and some day all the saints of God will go there. We've heard about this majestic place for years, but one day we will see it for ourselves.

More than all the beauty of heaven is Jesus, who we will see when we get there, and we will spend eternity with Him.

A song came to mind this morning, and I will let its lyrics, along with the above scriptures, be the heart of this blog post:

Heaven for Me

by Lanny Wolfe

Verse One

I've heard of a land that is wondrously fair

They say that its splendor is far beyond compare

In that place that's called Heaven my soul longs to be

For where Jesus is, it will be heaven for me

Chorus

Heaven for me, Heaven for me

He'll make it heaven for me

Jesus will be what makes it heaven for me

All its beauty and wonders I'm longing to see

But Jesus will be what makes it heaven for me

Verse Two

If walls there weren't jasper

If the streets were not gold

If mansions would crumble

And if folks there grew old

Still I'd see everything I've been longing to see

If Jesus is there, it will be heaven for me

May your Monday be majestic and marvelous - with the Master! I hope to see you again tomorrow with another spoonful!
