“I believe in heaven. I also believe in
hell. I have never seen either, but I believe they exist. They have to exist;
because without a heaven, without a hell, we are all just headed for limbo.”
–Grey’s Anatomy
There are things
in life that I will never understand. I
do not think we are meant to understand everything or be all knowing. I will
never understand tragedy. I will never understand death. I will never
understand heartache. Maybe I will
never understand love.
I used to live a
life so focused on being perfect. I used to live a life so focused on judging
those who did not attend church or believe in God. I became a person I hated. I
do not really know when everything changed, but it did.
I do not understand the concept of
telling a person “You’re going to Hell.” Who am I to say that? Who is anyone to
say that? We do not know people’s circumstances. We do not know people’s true
heart. Only God does. Let God be the judge. Let God be the jury. Let us sit in
the stands a neutral spectator. Maybe then there will be less hate in the
world. Maybe then we can learn to walk in an agape kind of love.
I believe in
Heaven. I believe in Hell. I was raised in a church, so I know what the Bible
says about Heaven and Hell. I just, I just….I don’t know if I want to believe
that not everyone can go to Heaven. I would hate to see anyone go to Hell, well
maybe with exception of Hitler and Osama Bin Laden---he is probably really
enjoying is 70 (whatever) virgins.
“Heaven. Hell. Limbo, No one really knows
where we’re going, or what’s waiting for us when we get there. But the one
thing we can say for sure with absolute certainty…is that there are moments
that take us to another place….moments of heaven on earth. And maybe for now,
that’s all we need to know.”
I captured this
last week at the lake. This is picture is the essence of heaven on earth. Maybe
if we look for more moments of heaven on earth—we can live a long and beautiful
life.
