When our children go to their favorite cousin’s house, an amusement park with their friends, or the college of their choice, we’re happy for them because we know they’re enjoying themselves.
Most of us would be happy if we saw our children or someone we love enjoying themselves; there should be no difference between an amusement park and heaven. In fact, heaven is a whole lot better than every amusement park put together.
When a believer passes on, that’s exactly what they’re doing, passing on. The Bible says, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. If they’ve accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, our family members and friends have passed on from this physical world to the spiritual world, with Christ. There’s no better place to be.
Yes, we may miss them, but know they’re in a far better place than we could imagine. If the passing on of a loved one can’t be viewed from a different perspective, it will always scare, torment, or depress us.
Be excited for them, they’re with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
