i believe heaven will not be a strange place for us
if in fact we've truly followed Him here on earth
i believe we are going home
a place that we will instantly recognize as home
the moment we enter the gates
we will not be lost for a second
after all
God made us in His image
i believe we'll fit right in
won't have to roam around like lost aliens
if in fact we sought the kingdom first
allowed Him to transformed to be like Jesus
while we still walked the earth
it's the task He set before us
to seek the kingdom
to glorify Him with our lives
to be more like God's son
the more we die here
the more we establish the kingdom in us
the more we die here
the more we discover our eternal selves
i once read a book called The Great Divorce
about a bus trip to heaven
how a man
couldn't even tread upon heaven's grass
because he was fallen
if we don't seek the kingdom here
we will not understand the kingdom there
the things of heaven will repel us
we won't understand it
and we'll be homeless

People don't like to talk about heaven. I don't hear or read much about it anymore. They are too busy with the stuff of earth.
Maybe we need a healthy balance of duties here and thoughts "there" to keep us sane in the midst of the battle.
For one second don't believe that what you write or sing isn't important..it is. You are a light and truth carrier. You are just kind of like me....most people aren't familiar with the way we're packaged. They want slick presentation and professional musicians. Us? We're just weary old worn out travelers who can't go back and keep pushing forward.
Love you man....

Maybe it's a good thing to not know anything else to do but push forward and learn to trust more.
