Revelation 22:1-2
Often I think it does not get better than now. Have you pondered the many blessings of sight, hearing, health, freedom, life, and the freedom to make choices and to love, and to be loved? As I have aged, these things listed above and many more come often to my mind; how blessed I am, and often I tell the Lord thanks, thanks for life and all that comes with it, because He has become my life, and His blessings are new every morning.
What are you looking forward to? If my understanding of Revelation 22:1-5 is even close to what is being said, we who are in Christ have a great deal, I mean plenty to look forward to. The apostle John is shown by the angel a river like no other he had ever seen, this river is the river of life; “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”
