Paradise, by Gini Kittle

What does paradise mean to you? Is it a far off island with long beaches, beautiful sunsets, and room service? A ski slope with beautifully groomed runs, heated chair lifts, and a slope side jacuzzi? Is paradise a dream, a far off fantasy, or an unattainable goal?

Christ wants us to live with Him in the now, every day! Being in the center of God's will should be the delight of every Christian — whether we are on a far off island walking down a sandy beach or helping serve in a soup kitchen. Don't let a daydream get in the way of your experiencing God's fulness for your life. Otherwise, you may sadly discover someday that what you had in mind for paradise is nothing but emptiness in comparison to God's splendor and glory.
