Who will you be

I love to watch people. I enjoy seeing how they react in different circumstances.

Have you ever noticed that some people are shy in a social setting, but watch them in a workplace or uniform, they come alive and are totally in charge of themselves?

You may even have trouble recognising them.

It occurred to me recently that when we get to Heaven, we are going to see a similar difference in those that we love.

There will be none of those insecurities that make people act badly.

Many people, I suspect, will be also hard to recognise.

I also realised that I need to think about people in the light of who they will be in God’s world because that is how Jesus sees them.

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52.

Challenge: Remember, that everyone will be different when we meet them in Heaven, so treat them as they will be then and not as they are now.
