October 25, 2021 – The Most Beautiful Place
The most beautiful place I have ever been, has been an intriguing thought. I could have mentioned all the places I have been, even crossed the border into Canada for 10 minutes, on our way home from Minnesota.
I have traveled to the mountains, to the shores of the ocean, to the flat wheat lands of Kansas, and to the Land of Lakes. Beauty is everywhere I go.
Every painter and photographer love to paint and picture this 
beauty God has created. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1.
Reading on, each time God spoke something into being, He said, “It is good!” For what can be known about God is plain to them because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So, they are without excuse. Romans 1:19-20.
This awesome creation is an introduction to our Lord and God who loves all He created. The rustle of the leaves in the wind, the call of the whippoorwill as twilight falls, the brilliance of the dawning sky, and the astounding starlight in the velvet dark, the coolness and refreshing of water, and the produce of the soil that feeds me. All this is because of the awesomeness of God.
God is Love and every where God’s Love is, is the most beautiful place in the world. “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.
Jesus, Son of God, loves us, and His Way is our gift of grace and our way to the Lord God. God’s love has no end, it is eternal.
The most beautiful place to be is Home. Here is where we first learn about how Jesus loves. How many years we returned to Dad and Mom’s house, knowing the Joy of Home. As the years roll by, our parents no longer inhabit their earthly home.
Their faithfulness in living for Him and they have moved to God’s Presence for an eternity. How is the next generation going to know about God’s Love. Parents, who love the Lord, teach their children about God’s Love…generation by generation. One generation of not living and teaching and the Joy of the Lord is lost. Is it any wonder that my Grandmother Suderman prayed for those who come after. (Nach Kommen).
What can we expect, a do it yourself shack? That is not how God loves. My favorite scripture tells what to expect because of the coming of Jesus, and His teaching.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” John 14:1-4.
The most beautiful place I will ever be is with God in a Heavenly Home built of Love. A secure place where there is no hate, anger, or impatience. A place where our hearts will know constant Joy and Peace.
How do we get there? My Mother wrote a poem, I wondered about for years, now I know. She was anxious to go Home, several years before she died at the age of 91. She wanted to know the signs and wrote this poem.
Exit / Entrance
When travel slows with age and pain, an exit lane shall take me home, Through evening gloaming where saints and angels sing and gold harps ring, In Paradise beyond blue skies.
Though things of earth may disappear I will not fear that final breath to walk through death. Anna Daisy Siemens.
Another poem is this: Green is My Valley
I feared to walk with the valley of pain. I had so much to learn. The unexpected joys surprise me; the Lord was there at every turn
I found a richness in the alley; my soul was Spirit-fed to grow. A rainbow arched through blessing showers, just when my evening lamp burned low.
Maturity came in my valley where faith ran like a river deep; I found a rich contentment before I closed my eyes in sleep.
