Happy moments on earth should whet your appetite for heaven and Jesus’ return.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Imagine walking through your front door and inhaling the mouth-watering aroma of dinner cooking in the oven. It’s that aroma, right? It makes you realize, “Hey, I’m hungry!” Funny thing is, you didn’t know you were hungry before you walked into the house. But that’s the nature of things that whet your appetite. And the joys and pleasures that God gives us are meant to do the same – happy moments down here on Earth should whet our appetite for the glorious Day when “everlasting joy will crown our heads, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” That’s a promise from the book of Isaiah, so today, whenever something happens that brings a smile or touches your heart, let it whet your appetite, let it make you hungry for heaven, because the wedding supper in our heavenly home is almost ready. Soon Jesus will return, and with him, joy and pleasure forevermore.
