✨ 2 weeks ago, me and my family were at Disney World. It was exhausting but I definitely had a fun time! I know many people aren’t fortunate enough to go on trips like this, so I am really grateful and don’t take it for granted.
One of my favorite parks at Disney was the Magic Kingdom. It reminded me of God’s Kingdom. Both are kinda similar in a way.
The Magic Kingdom. A place where dreams come true when you wish upon a star. A place to fulfill happiness. A place with no sadness or pain.
I imagine heaven might be like that. Where happiness and dreams are real and forever. Where evil is destroyed. Where there will be no more pain or suffering. Revelation 21:4 says, “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away”. He will make all things new and wonderful and creative and beautiful, just like Magic Kingdom.
But one thing Magic Kingdom can’t provide is a fulfillment to their promises. Happiness will not be long-lasting and our dreams won’t magically appear. But God provides that for eternity. The Kingdom of God will be a place where all promises are delivered. He will invite us to come and be His guest 😉 at the table for all eternity.
God’s kingdom will be far greater than anything Disney could bring. The Knight in shining armor, the Prince of peace, the one whom our hearts longed for—the King of kings and Lord of lords, came to save us and is coming back to finish what He started! To give us our “happily ever after”. And His name is Jesus
Magic Kingdom was rememberable. It made me want to keep going back and I longed for more at the end of the day. But now, I am longing for a different Kingdom—God’s Kingdom. I know how magical heaven will be and I crave for the Kingdom of God to come. I long for that. And I hope you long for that too. Because His coming could be any day now. I dream of that day, where Jesus will come and make a new heaven and earth. And we will spend our eternity in the Kingdom of God. Aren’t you excited! I know I sure am. Let’s have an eternal mindset! 💜
