Spiritual Beings

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience."

It's true! We're on orders from Headquarters, and we are princes and princesses in the Kingdom of God. This world is not our home. While we're here, however, we are expected to be ministers of reconciliation, reconciling people to God.

Furthermore, we are ambassadors for Christ.

As my grandmother neared her 100th birthday, she kept saying, "I want to go home." I am convinced that she was not referring to her earthly home in Weston, West Virginia, but to her heavenly home.

A few years ago I helped Choo Thomas write her best-selling book, Heaven Is So Real, in which she shared her experiences with the Lord in Heaven. Similarly, Bridge-Logos has published Heaven Tours by Rita Bennett, which shares the experiences of other visitors to Heaven.

Yes, Heaven is real. It is our home and, as the old chorus tells us, "It is better than this."

Let's remember that we're spiritual beings having a human experience. That perspective truly changes everything.
