Do you crave good entertainment? Do you like Broadway shows, sporting events, Las Vegas spectaculars, good movies, etc? Do you pay anywhere from 10 to 250 dollars for a ticket to attend one of these short-lived events?
How about travel? Do you like visiting the exotic places of the world - Europe, Egypt, Asia, Australia, or drive the United States from coast to coast? Can you afford the price of the tickets, gas, hotels, food etc that goes with it? For those of you who have the money and time to constantly travel and be entertained - congratulations. For those of us on limited funds and hardly enough time - I can tell you how to do all this, and far more, with no money at all. All it requires is, to believe in Christ, say one prayer, and have a little patience.
All the entertainment travel and good times we experience here on earth, cannot equal anything found in Heaven. If you feel you are missing out on all the good things this world has to offer, because of lack of funds, sickness, problems, work, don’t fret about it for even one second, because there are better things coming. Your life on earth may only span 70, 80, or even 100 years – not a big deal compared to eternity.
Do not be jealous of anyone because he has an expensive house and can afford lavish entertainment. Someday you can live in a mansion, and not only travel the world, but travel the universe.
So if you crave great entertainment and can’t afford it, then set your sights higher than anything earth can offer. And all of you who can afford all the good earthly stuff - set your sights higher too - because you ain’t seen nothing yet.
If you want an eternity of peace, happiness, joy, travel, beauty, etc., and share it with God Himself, then turn your life over to Jesus, and live out your life here, believing and working for Jesus. He's building that mansion for you right now (John 14:1-3)
Don’t wait another second, say the following prayer with earnestness.
"Lord Jesus, I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. I know you are the Son of God. Come into my heart and guide me the rest of my life. I need you Jesus."
Say that prayer and mean it, and after a little patience (until you leave this earth) you will be living in a city that is made of pure gold as clear as glass, filled with many mansions and with streets of gold, and with a foundation decorated with 12 precious stones, and the city will have constant light (no night or darkness) Rev. 21:9-27.
With a city like this, can you imagine what the rest of Heaven is like?
