The City of Light



In the highest realm of the infinite creation, there is a city of the purest light, whose glory and wonder exceeds any other city in all of existence. This city is the capital of creation. Here lies the palace and throne room of the Creator. It is a palace of shimmering white marble with silver and gold mixed in the framework of the walls and the cobblestones of the courtyards where God's children never stop playing, laughing, and singing.

      There are thousands of rooms in this palace. Bedrooms, game rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, meditation rooms. God's throneroom is at the heart of the palace. I have my own room waiting for me when my time on earth is done. It's a small one. I don't need anything super fancy, just my galaxy blankets, and my space/science fiction memorabilia. 

     When I get back to my home with God, every night He is going to tuck me into bed, read me a story and tell me about adventures and heroes and He is going to smile warmly at me as I laugh and ask Him questions. After I wake up in the morning, God makes me whatever breakfast I want. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast, cereal, you name it.

     My reprieve in God's palace in the City of Light can be as long as I want it to be. During the day, I can spend time worshipping the LORD in his throneroom, singing and looking upon His face with all the other members of His palace. I get to talk to Him and stare at Him wide-eyed as He answers my questions. Jesus is there. Always at the right hand of the Father in perfect harmony and perfect faithfulness.

      Death has no sting there. Fear has no blight there. Hate has no poison there. Slavery has no chains there. All of God's children Jesus rescued from all corners of creation dwell in this city of light and in his palace. Millions, billions of souls get to dwell there and behold the majesty and glory of God.  

     The festivals and activities there are amazing. Everyone has joy in their eyes and a smile on their face. Everyone dances there. Everyone sings there. There is nothing but the Light and Love of our Lord Jesus Christ filling all corners of this city.

     There is no more suffering. Bitterness loses all power. There is no lack. Our cups are always overflowing here. Freedom is an absolute. God gives us whatever we want that is within the confines of righteousness, and the freedom of righteousness is not very confining.

     When I get to my tiny room in God's palace, and I want to go adventure in God's creation again and fight evil and win battles and learn what it means to be a hero and a champion of the weak, the LORD will be walking with me wherever I go and will guide me in whatever I do. 

For now, I am on earth. I must do my best with what God has given me here.

Good night, and God bless you all
