Truly “me” and truly “you,”

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:3)

 When we are called from this life, when we are brought to the threshold, we leave the things of this life behind—our earthly bodies, our material belongings. We shed these things as one sheds a garment.
 But our spirit, that which is truly “me” and truly “you,” steps across the veil and lives on forever. Our experience and knowledge—and mainly the spiritual things that we have learned, the matters of love, kindness, and truth—these things remain with us and benefit us throughout eternity.
 In God’s wonderful kingdom of love, no matter what our limitations here, there we will have peace of heart, mind, and contentment of spirit. There we will have no fear, our needs will be filled abun­dantly. There we can find true love, and fill the empty spaces in our lives, hearts, minds, and spirits.
 Jesus is the door to heaven, and by coming into it through Him, your life in this world, and in the world beyond, will be much greater than anything you ever imagined! You’ve received Jesus, so you are going to live with Him in His loving, exciting, wonderful, fulfilling, peaceful kingdom—forever! [1]

 Like a child who suddenly stops sobbing when he is clasped in the arms of his mother, such will be the grip of heaven upon our souls. —Ravi Zacharias
