Even while we are struggling here on earth, we are able to have that heavenly communion and fellowship with him, and there is nothing he can't make right.

Thank you for sharing your experience...Dear Frank, <br />Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of these great scenic wonders now marred by the curse of sin, even to the point of leading to death. Suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA continue to increase, and I have even read about a Dog Suicide Bridge in Milton, Scotland, which apparently lures dogs to their death as they jump off. Even the serpent in his original form in the Garden of Eden must have been a strikingly beautiful creature before God punished him for tempting Eve by having him crawl on his belly. We cannot even begin to imagine how amazingly beautiful the new heavens and earth will be, unmarred by sin, peril, or corruption in any form.<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-33464319836035065972018-11-25T11:37:30.731-08:002018-11-25T11:37:30.731-08:00Hi Brenda,

Praise God that without Jesus, we can do nothing, but with Him, all things are possible!<br />God bless you too!<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-19054558334823925282018-11-25T08:00:21.543-08:002018-11-25T08:00:21.543-08:00Dear Laurie,
The beauty of Creation, even at prese...Dear Laurie,<br />The beauty of Creation, even at present, does testify of the power and the beauty of God, yet the earth remains cursed because of sin. Perhaps this could be summed up in a story on a National Geographic website I have recently read about. It was about a particular place in the Grand Canyon where a female hiker fell to her death, yet where she fell from is quite a remarkable beauty spot when seen from a distance. The tragedy is that such beauty spots continue to claim lives around the world. Our own Beachy Head on the South Coast of England remains a notorious suicide spot, despite its own outstanding beauty.<br />I felt very distressed by the Grand Canyon story, enough to dream about it myself later in the night. Yet I have always been fascinated by the sheer dramatic beauty of this natural wonder.<br />By his merciful grace, God has promised a new heaven and a new earth. With the curse of sin finally lifted, no doubt the beauty of the new creation will be many times more glorious than at present, with every consequence of sin forever gone.<br />Thank you for sharing your dream. God bless.Frank E.

This is a lovely testimony , and I can ...Hi Laurie,<br />This is a lovely testimony , and I can truly identify with it as I have many dreams (one this week) that reveal things to me, even to show me that I will be doing something or going somewhere where my natural mind tells me is impossible. If we believe that with God all things are possible then we will experience many of those things while we are on this earth. Would I have believed when I was a child that I would come up out of water after being baptized speaking in a language that I had never learned - no I would not have.<br />God bless Laurie.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.com
