Last night I went into my writing room to spend time with God and Jesus was there waiting. He said, “Come sit with Me awhile.” And so, I sat in my recliner.

Instantly I was in the Spirit.

I was at my prepared place in Heaven standing outside the house God has prepared for me there. Jesus was just sitting on the porch. So, I sat down next to him. Kodo, the giant white wolf God has given me was between Jesus and I lying down on the porch. Jesus was looking out over the grassy fields in front of my house not saying anything. So, I just sat there with Him and Kodo. Then I saw that it was night out and there were fireflies flying here and there over the grass. The sounds were the peaceful sounds of nighttime. The air was warm and pleasant. I took glances at Jesus here and there and realized He was at complete peace. He was just enjoying sitting there with me. I was such a contrast to him… inside me was raging all my struggles, pain, restless thoughts, anxieties. We sat there for a long time, and I slowly relaxed into that moment. I realized nothing was expected of me at all. I was loved. I belonged there. Jesus was with me. Kodo dozed by my side and I ran my hand through his thick hair and scratched him behind his ears as he slept. Peace. Absolute, holy, and perfect peace.

I will never, as long as I exist, forget what Jesus taught me through this experience with Him. God has been nudging me since I had this experience to share it with you. These moments with Him are what I’m supposed to share with you. The reality of my relationship with Him.

The striking thing is that in heaven and in eternity with God there is no such thing as money. No bills. No rent. No car payment. We will have learning to do. We will have work to do. But we will love it all and do it with the Lord simply because we enjoy it. God will be our source forever and ever and ever… as He is now.

Here on earth in time we honor God by paying our bills and doing our work and the ministry He has given us. But He is our source. Our jobs come and go. The uncertainty of riches… on this planet is sure. God provides us with the strength to work and the favor to hold our jobs. But we must keep in mind that He is our source for everything. And that will never change. We can “rest” in that. His love for us banishes all fear and anxiety.
