14-Feb-2000 (Thoughts Of Heaven)
Communication is a personal thing. In our busyness we oftentimes just do not spend enough time communicating and getting to know one another. But in heaven things would be different; we would have all the time in the expanse of heaven.
Right now in this down-to-earth sojourn, I am endeavouring to savour and enjoy more fully inter-personal communication beginning with my immediate family members. It's a start. How else are we going to enjoy interacting with fellow beings in heaven later on if we don't start now?
Down on earth I thank God that human beings are fascinated by and with one another. People, above all, still prove to be uno as a subject and an object. But what if we are not exemplary in conduct and mannerism? Would we then be transformed when we get to heaven or do we end up carrying our baggage? What if we are not getting along with one another here? Will we then enjoy each other's companionship in heaven for eternity?!
One of my pastor half-jokingly said that we h'd better start liking each other now 'cos we will be spending a lot of time together in heaven. It's time to get on with it. Know, enjoy and cherish our inter-personal relationships. Eternity is written in our hearts. So, let's live with heaven within our sight.
