December 17: An Eternity of Bliss.
The Joy of Being in His Presence.
"You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence."--Acts 2:28, NKJV
LET THOSE MEN AND WOMEN...FOR AN INSTANT witness the high, the holy state of perfection that ever abides there,--every soul filled with love; every countenance beaming with joy; enchanting music in melodious strains rising in honor of God and the Lamb;...realize that there is higher and greater joy yet to experience, for the more they receive of the enjoyment of God, the more is their capacity increased to rise higher in eternal enjoyment, and thus continue to receive new and greater supplies from the ceaseless sources of glory and bliss inexpressible.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2, 266.
Heaven is a good place. I long to be there and behold my lovely Jesus.--Early Writings, 39.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
--1 Corinthians 13:12, NKJV
Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
It flowed down the center of the main street.
On each side of the river grew a tree of life,
bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month.
The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.
No longer will there be a curse upon anything.
For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him.
And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads.
--Revelation 22:1-4, NLT
