They... cut down ... a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff.

- Numbers 13:23

We need to remember that the joy, peace, love, and grace we experience now are sweet, but they are only tiny samples of the abundance of blessings that fill the Better Land in Heaven with Jesus! We get to see some nice glimpses of Heaven in this life, especially when we stay grateful, prayerful, positive, loving, and joyful in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I know I always try to! Stay prayerful all day long!

The Mornings With God App today said, "God has given us glimpses of the good things of the heavenly life here in our earthly wilderness—previews of the full glory that awaits us. The joy, peace, love, and grace we experience now are sweet, but they are only tiny samples of the abundance of blessings that fill the Better Land. The old rabbis used to say that when the famine began in Egypt and the storehouses were opened, Joseph threw the chaff of the grain into the Nile so it would float downriver and show those downstream that there was plenty of food stored for them upstream. In the same way, the blessings of divine grace we enjoy in this world are little more than the husks of the heavenly blessings that await us. The joy we have now is deep and rich, but the joy of heaven will be infinitely deeper and richer." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/may/5

Today we see some really unhappy people. People are negative, full of hate, and living in misery. They think of the negative on all, always living in fear and with so many hypotheticals, they orchestrate their own misery in how they live and think. There is a lot of group think today, full of hate, some with TDS, others just indifferent, many others just who really do not care, they care more about smoking their pot, being high, or drunk, or removed completely from this world and seek pot or drugs over following Jesus. We need to follow Jesus, we need to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Jesus, we need to stay positive, loving, joyful, prayerful and grateful, counting our blessings all the time! While we can enjoy some joy here in this life on Earth, it will be like ten fold when we get to Heaven as long as we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, living for Him, loving like Him! Imitating Him the best we can while staying positive! Live a life rooted in the Spirit while here on Earth!
