The spiritual world, your true destiny in heaven, is completely different to this world and when your sins are forgiven it is like crossing over from death into a new life. Even in this world we are able to comprehend something of the majesty and glory of heaven.

This is because we all within us have a spiritual side to our nature. This important but generally unrecognized part of us acknowledges what is wrong with this fallen world and yet still survives.

When we place our faith and trust in Jesus all of our sins will be forgiven.

With Jesus as our guide we are changed into a new creature; our conscience cleared, our spirit renewed and uplifted and every part of us sanctified for useful service.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Our Bible reading and quiet times are essential to challenge our thoughts and prayers, to direct our paths and adjust our lifestyles.

We should all feel the sense of looking forward towards that wonderful future in ahead in heaven. Each day just being thankful to serve Jesus and learn what we can in the process.

This is surely the most wonderful and beautiful gift of all.
