John Burke
many people who fear death are afraid of the pain of death. Yet many who describe it don’t recall the pain at all; instead they speak of what Paul called “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding”
Most of us end up believing things about our identity that are not grounded in God’s reality—who God created us to be, what God created us to do.
That’s because God never created us to get our identity from what we do or what others did to us, but from who we are to God.
No one else has the right or ability to say what you’re worth except the One who created you.
I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it”
Imagine in Heaven when you finally realize how special you are to the most important Being in the universe!
You don’t need to worry about not fulfilling your purpose; if you seek God and his will, you will live it. But we can’t forget, it’s all about love.
“the love and the warmth which emanate from this being to the dying person are utterly beyond words, and he feels completely surrounded by it and taken up in it, completely at ease and accepted in the presence of this being.”
“God the Father singing back to each and every being giving Him praise before the Throne. He was singing an individual love song to each of His creations.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism”
It was as if this was the place I had been searching all my life to find, and now I’d found it.19
