He Created a Place for You

He Created a Place for You

This is another great reason that you and God were meant for each other. Humans tend to think short-term. What's for dinner? What am going to do tomorrow? Unlike us, God has an eternal perspective. He's looking out for you—long term. Like really long term—eternity. He's preparing a place for you to live.

Also, I am sure that the place He is preparing is not on a cloud and you will not be playing a harp. How do I know this?

When I consider the combination of God's unconditional love, His intelligence, and how He created us to need purpose, stimulation, and friends, I am sure that He would create a place that suits us. He knows that we would be bored out of our minds if we had to float around on clouds, playing bad music for eternity. Based on His infinite compassion, I'm sure there are amazing things waiting for us.

He's also creating a whole kingdom waiting for people who want to join Him. Below are a few verses about this place He is preparing.
