Earth.. Heaven.

My conversation with Him.. Alvin left when he was only 27, Lord.. why so young.. so many things he has not done.. or gone through.. ¡°life¡± as we call it.. he had just graduated not so long ago.. there is a feeling of.. regret?

And God reminded me, Jesus was crucified when he was young too, at 33. and He resurrected and went back to heaven soon after that..

sometimes, we can make so much of our time on earth, we see our next 50 years as so important, what we want to do, what we want to play, to enjoy, before we die.. we may even say, Lord, I don¡¯t have time for You, I want to go enjoy myself for the next 50 years.. to experience ¡°life¡±.. but I dont think God sees it like this.. and how foolish we may see ourselves when we look back one day..

If earth was really so enjoyable and so fun, Jesus would not have been crucified at age 33, he could have stayed and played for a few more decades before going to the cross at age 60 or 80.. the difference between heaven and earth is beyond our imaginations.. Jesus did not stay longer than He needed to.. not for a holiday.

the real enjoyment begins after you leave earth.. the real fun is in heaven.. and it lasts for an eternity.. but only if you know the Lord.. the One who created the heavens and the earth..

may we understand Your truth Lord, please give us wise hearts..
