One day you will stand with the angels and with your beloved to hear songs of worship and joy. Can you imagine it?

But not yet.

As surely as you can tune your ears to hear future music, you can listen to the sounds of creation worshiping Me now. Do you hear the sweet sparrows and mourning doves lifting their voices?
Smell the summer rain and taste the richness of a berry. Rub your hand over the bark of a tree. See how it rises in strength and persistence?

Notice the world around you.

No hardship steals away the enduring beauty of My creation. In this world there will be hardships, but I have already won the victory. You need not be afraid. Only look at Me and what I create.

We are on the path to eternity, where you will experience the full beauty of My love.

Keep walking.

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
Psalm 19:1-4a NLT
