Have you ever thought what it would be like if there was no Heaven? I’d actually never thought of it till I heard Heaven Changes Everything while driving down the highway. It’s almost as if my earthly self and my spirit collided in the instant that I heard Big Daddy Weave sing, “Heaven changes everything!”
With those words, my heart and soul exploded with questions. What would be the purpose for life without Heaven? How could I do today without Heaven? How could I fight cancer without Heaven? How could I handle the thought of forever without Heaven? How could I trust God without Heaven?
Then random thoughts took over. I realized the fact that I know there’s a Heaven gets me through the struggles and challenges of life here on earth. Autism, cancer, loss, even bills, obligations, responsibilities, and my isolation from my extended family is soothed because of Heaven. Even knowing that one day I’ll see my momma again makes life okay. It’s funny how you can see something differently that you’ve known all your life in just an instant. Literally, Heaven changes everything: how I live; how I thrive; how I survive!
In the light of eternity, I have this hope
You hold my heart and I’m never alone
One day, You’re comin’ back
One day, I’m comin’ home
Thank You, Jesus
Heaven changes everything
Oh, everything
My questions would stay questions, no answers to be found
And all the times I’ve fallen, I’d still be there on the ground
Thank You, Jesus
Heaven changes everything…
The way that I love, the way that I live
The way I let go and choose to forgive
The peace in this pain, the hope in this grief
The beauty beyond this, I have to believe
I can’t see what You see, but I know that I know
This world’s where I am, but this world’s not my home…
Thank You, Jesus!
