I will let you in on a little secret: I have always wanted a sailboat. For years I have imagined the pleasure of being on the open water, the wind blowing in my face, with no daily pressures or deadlines. Right now, I don't foresee this as ever happening. I have no idea how I could possibly raise the funds necessary to do this or whether or not I am just too old to even try such a thing. However, I can envision the peace and tranquility that this picture represents and realize that someday I will experience such joy... in heaven. And here is why I know it...
WEB: Revelation of John Chapter 22
[1] He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, [2] in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. [3] There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. [4] They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. [5] There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
Eventually this scripture will become a reality for me and that is better than any sailboat or peaceful day that I could ever possibly imagine. To be with Jesus is better than anything this world could possibly offer.; it will be a "dream come true". When you know that your dreams will come true, nothing else really matters, even something you think that you have always wanted. Besides, who knows if I might get seasick on the water...
