Engaged couples often spend hours poring over travel brochures and vacation Web sites looking for just the right honeymoon spot. They can hardly wait for their romantic getaway. But it's not so much about the place; it's about being with the person they love.

We get used to places no matter how glorious they are. But being with a person who loves us never gets old!

In Revelation, John paints a beautiful picture of what heaven will be like. But it's not really about the place__it's about the Person we'll be with. The day is coming when Jesus will come to take us to be with Him in the place He has prepared for us. And the wonderful news is that He says: "Behold, I am coming quickly!" (22:7).

If you're thinking, He may come back for others, but surely not for me, don't miss verse 17: "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!' and let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely." Anyone is welcome to join the wedding feast. all we have to do is believe in the One who died for us, Jesus Christ, the Lover of our souls.

Make no mistake, the place__heaven__will be incredible beyond our dreams. But our greatest joy will be the experience of being with jesus forever! __Joe Stowell

***********Today's Bible Reading __ Revelation 22:6-17************

6 Then he said to me,
"These words are faithful
and true." And the Lord
God of the holy prophets
sent His angel to show His
servants the things which
must shortly take place.

7 "Behold, I am coming
quickly! Blessed is he who
keeps the words of the
prophecy of this book." ...
10 And he said to me, "Do
not seal the words of the
prophecy of this book, for
the time is at hand. 11 He
who is unjust, let him be
unjust still; he who is filthy,
let him be filthy still; he
who is righteous, let him be
righteous still; he who is
holy, let him be holy still.

12 "And behold, I am
coming quickly, and My
reward is with Me, to give
to every one according to
his work. 13 I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End, the
First and the Last."
14 Blessed are those who
do His commandments, that
they may have the right to
the tree of life, and may
enter through the gates into
the city. 15 But outside are
dogs and sorcerers and
sexually immoral and
murderers and idolaters,
and whoever loves and
practices a lie.

16 "I, Jesus, have sent MY
angel to testify to you these
things in the churches. I am
the Root and the Offspring
of David, the Bright and
Morning star." 17 And the
Spirit and the bride say,
"Come!" And let him who
hears say, "Come!" and let
him who thirsts come.
Whoever desires let him
take the water of life freely.

Heaven is referred to in a variety of ways: eternal life (Matt 19:16),
the house of the Father (John 14:2), paradise (2 Cor. 12:4), and the
eternal inheritance (Heb 9:15). __Dennis Fisher
