My Thoughts

Word picture of mankind, made for heaven, living on earth.

Picture perfect people as helium balloons. Helium balloons that have an upwards tug, floating high above the pull of gravity. They drift upwards until the limiting restraints are taught, this is the physical body. This is the position people are supposed to have as they dwell on this earth. Above the natural pull of corruption and despair, having the glorified promises of glory with a natural pull towards heaven and not the downwards tug of sin. (At death the 'string' is cut and those filled with the helium of heaven float up to be with the Lord.)

It's natural to understand that we, as humans, are supposed to rise above the earth and if we, humans, are not filled with the helium of heaven we attempt to raise ourselves by means of sticks and other apparatus, to make it look like we float freely upwards filled with satisfaction. But, remove the apparatuses and without the helium of heaven we drift back down to earth.

People use religion as sticks to make them 'rise' above the earth and they use power, money, fame and even the green ideology to 'rescue all mankind from destruction' to make them appear as though they are flying high, but inside they are empty and confused about what life is all about. But again, remove these sticks and you have empty people that crash back to earth and despair. Why, because people are created for God, to praise and worship him yet without the helium of heaven they are doomed to sink.

Are you filled with God or do you have something else lifting you up. Are you truly empty or satisfied?
