The other day I overheard the kids playing in the trees out front again. They were animatedly describing the dire straits they found themselves in\u2014stuck in a burning\u2026something (I didn\u2019t hear if it was a building or a plane or what it was)\u2026and had to jump. It was now or never! If they didn\u2019t jump they\u2019d be burned up! They decided to jump. Upon hurriedly explaining all of this to his friend, the boy then jauntily yelled, \u201cSee you in heaven!\u201d as he leapt from the tree!<\/p>\n
I burst out laughing! What a line! Sounded like a quote from a movie! But then I found myself thanking God that even a child can have the assurance of heaven! How beautiful is that?<\/p>\n
God didn\u2019t create a plan so complicated that no one could ever know Him or get close to Him. On the contrary, He designed a plan so vast that it covers all my sin with forgiveness and grace and so simple that a child can understand it. So personal that He doesn\u2019t just promise to be with me always but to be in me! So complete that not only has my past been dealt with but my future as well! Now that\u2019s something to rejoice in! But tell me, my friend, will I see you in heaven?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
