Do you know the Father? Jesus tells us that no matter how far we stray there will always be a place prepare for us in Heaven. All we have to do is invite Jesus into our hearts and that includes the daily joys and sorrow of living on this side of heaven. Heaven is truly a mystery and while we might have an idea of what it will be like, we really don’t know. And so we walk by faith and not by sight. What we do know is that Jesus is the way to the Father and the Father dwells in heaven.
So how do we get to know Jesus better? I choose daily prayer. It allows me to invite Jesus in and allow Him to take control of my life so when disappointments and sorrow come, I will not be shaken. Perhaps you like to pray daily as well. Perhaps you enjoy reading daily scripture and perhaps you give of yourself totally in service to others.
As long as you remain close to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, you will find the grace and comfort you need. Yes, heaven is real and yes, there is a place for all of us in the Lord’s kingdom. So go ahead, invite him in, and spend some quiet time listening for his voice. I know you will not be disappointed.
Lord Jesus you are the way to the truth. Let our hearts be set on fire with your love. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on you.
