“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'”
Matthew 25:34 NIV
God Prepares a Place for You
According to an Angus Reid Institute poll, more than half of Canadians don’t have a last will and testament. Of that group, 18 per cent cited cost as the main reason they hadn’t written a will, while five per cent answered that it’s too time-consuming. Yet these days, we have more and arguably easier options than ever before when it comes to will preparation: will and estate lawyers, businesses that offer fixed prices on lawyer-provided services, will kits, will-preparation sites and even DIY legal forms that are available for free online.

After a woman hears she is going to have a baby, she spends months preparing for the arrival. A nursery is readied, diapers and other needed baby things are bought, and a shower is held to celebrate with friends. When the baby finally arrives, the news is spread to family and friends. If this is what happens for the arrival of a baby, imagine how much preparation God is making for your arrival in Glory. Jesus speaks to this in Matthew 25:34: “‘Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.’” From the creation of the world, God has been preparing your place and your inheritance in the eternal kingdom. It is just for you, and He is preparing it for you because He loves you. You have so much to look forward to if you are a son or daughter of the Lord Jesus by faith.
These have been words from the heart.
