I am going to prepare a place for you!

I am going to prepare a place for you!

" I am going to prepare a place for you! " John 14:2

Blessed Savior—this is enough! I do not desire now to inquire where Heaven is, or what it is—it is sufficient to know that it is a place prepared by Yourself, who has loved me, and given Yourself for me!

This earth was beautiful and good as it came from Your hands, and it is beautiful still. If sin were removed from it, and Your presence and glory were more fully revealed—then earth would be a happy dwelling-place. What then, will Heaven be?

"O Jesus, good beyond compare!
  If thus Your lower works are fair,
  If thus Your bounties gild the span
  Of ruined earth, and sinful man,
  How glorious must the mansion be,
  Where Your redeemed shall dwell with Thee!"

But, Lord, You know that even Heaven, though prepared by Yourself, would not satisfy me if You were absent! Therefore have You, to my joy, added, "I will come again, and receive you unto Myself—that where I am, there you may be also!"

Back to Every Day!
