room.

A year ago today my dad left what we call this earth. 
He traveled at the speed of light to the one who ordained his birth. 
June 4, 2010 the angels took him on the most talked about, mysterious tour.
He started a life in Heaven where Revelation 7:7 says there are 'Tears no more!'
He now sees the same glory as the angels in Isaiah 6:3.
He has found himself among those shouting, "Holy is He!" 
I know he is now experiencing the 'fullness of joy' described in Psalm 16:11.
This truth moves me to the core of my being... My dad is in Heaven! 
Hebrews 13:14 calls it our city to come.
We will go back to the place we originally came from. 
In Acts 6:55, Stephen looked up and saw the glory.
I declare that "Up" is our ultimate story. 
My dad has gone up where Revelation 22:3 says there is no allowance for the curse.
Regrets and guilt have no stage, no platform to rehearse. 
He has gone to that place that Revelation 5:9 says there is room for every tribe. 
He stands on Holy ground where there's no pain, no sorrow, no hate, no racism... Who can describe?! 
He gets to eat from the tree God made for you and me. 
Revelation 2:7 says this tree of life is our eternity. 
He is surrounded by what Job 3:17 calls our rest. 
We have heard the word many times, but I can only imagine that level of 'blessed.'
He is in what 1 Kings 8:30 calls God's dwelling place.
What a beautiful thought! Being in a land where the children can touch the King's face. 
My dad is in a city that was not constructed my man.
This city was formed and shaped by The Almighty God's hand. According to Luke 20:36, he is in The Kingdom of no more death.
In this city, there is an intake of life with every single breath. 
No greater portrait of LOVE can I see than a God painting a home, a life, an existence, a city, a kingdom - an eternity for you and me.
My dad discovered a year ago that Jesus had prepared a place in Heaven for him to live. 
This is the most incredible, indescribable gift that Jesus can give.
And I know this is a true as John 14:2.
The Almighty Father in Heaven has prepared a room for you too. 















Imagine with me your home to be.
Can you see all that I see?
