Amazing Future

“...we shall be like Him...” 1 John 3:2

What an amazing future God has planned for us! We can be confident about this plan because it was John the Apostle himself who wrote about it, someone very close to Jesus, who listened to him intently, who even spent time with Mary, after Jesus’ death to learn more about Jesus. 

I know someone who is very insecure. If people are whispering, she immediately believes they are talking about her. She reacts by throwing accusations to the wind, and she always gets into trouble. If she truly knew who she was, knew that she was the daughter of the King of Kings, knew how valuable she was in God’s eyes, she would not feel so vulnerable. 

We should be planted in the truth, and the truth will set us free. We need not be so anxious and stressed all the time, because, “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) That future includes a life with Him, as His sons and daughters. Life here on earth is just training. Just as Meghan Markle had to undergo some lessons on how to be royalty, how to sit, what color of nail polish was permissible, what not to say, we too are undergoing intensive training so we can join our Father in heaven. So we can be like Him!
