“Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:2-3

Lord, Thank you for this vision of the last day. It will not be a dismal day of defeat and despair for me. It will be a day of victory and life and eternity. You will take me up, together with all of your holy people, into the glories of heaven. You will transform me in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye. You will make me glorious and holy and eternal. I can’t wait, Lord. I long for your coming. I long for your deliverance. But, Lord, while I wait for you make me an eternal and earthly good to all those around me. Make me a servant to them. Make me a leader for them. Make me one who leads them to the righteousness and salvation that comes from you alone. Help me to bring as many people to heaven as possible. You have given me this time so that I can bring people with me to heaven. Help me to do this, dear Father in heaven. Amen.

Let’s do all that we can with the time that we have to bring as many people as we can with us to heaven!
