2 Samuel 20:1-26; Jeremiah 4:3-31; Galatians 5:10-26

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory. John 17:24

We all have our concepts of what arrival in heaven will be like. We read of pearly gates and streets of pure gold and maybe can’t wait to see the awesome splendor. But our Saviour says we will be occupied with His glory. Any other beauty will not compare to the sight of the One who loved us and gave Himself for us. Even
so come, Lord Jesus. —Ken Gross

When all my labors and trials are o’er,
And I am safe on that beautiful shore,
Just to be near the dear Lord I adore,
Will through the ages be glory for me.   —Charles H. Gabriel
