Once again I sat in the meadow at the bottom of my road waiting for God to join me. Whilst reading Ecclesiastes I came upon this verse which seemed to release something within me, for many months I had been playing with the phrase ‘a taste of heaven’ desperate to turn it into a poem. There is great satisfaction when a phrase which has plagued you for so long is finally released from your heart. I wrote this whilst thinking of a group of young people I work with and how desperate I am for them to discover God so that they too may taste heaven. I’ve often thought about people I’ve met and been thankful that even though I may never again see them on earth I certainly will in heaven. I’ve also thought many times about the people close to me who I very much want to see in heaven but there are doubts as to whether I will, this is my plea to them.

‘He has planted eternity in the human heart,’
Ecclesiastes 3:11
Eternity is within your heart.
If you would just keep looking I know you will find it.
I want you to have the same almighty power I have in my life.
I want you to have a reason to live and a hope in death.
God revealed his majesty to me,
I feel so privileged to have been chosen.
I pray for His revelation in your life,
Because I know he chooses you too.
I plead with you to ride this journey with us.
To fight against the evil and the darkness.
To stand for what is good and righteous.
I want you to know the peace that comes with a life embedded in him.
To taste heaven and know it’s attainable.
Eternity is within your grasp, just reach out and take it!
Treasure it always and fight to keep it.
I pray I will see you there,
We will stand in His glory,
Basking in the salvation we know is ours.
Until then eternity is waiting to be unlocked within you,
Waiting to seep into your very core,
To give you life and shield you from death.
Waiting to be discovered and released.
