I Lack Nothing!

My Thoughts of HEAVEN and spending eternity with God

Shirley asked, “Can I garden in heaven?”

SUITED FOR HEAVEN

The Lord is my shepherd, I will not be in need. NASB (I lack nothing. NIV). Psalm 23:1

So, God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them Gen.1:27

He guides me on the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Ps.23:3

I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be. John 14:2b-3

For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, Rom.6:5

Augustine: Thou hast made us for thyself O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in Thee.

Blaise Pascal: There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator made known through Jesus Christ.
