This is the best sermon for me. One thing after another, I went thru hell in a handbasket for 40 yrs or more, all while studying the Bible and digging for God. I still did not have a relationship with him. Therefore, I was deeply depressed. I knew I was going to Heaven when I died, so I just figured I had to live thru crap until I died. I didn't like it but didn't know how to stop it. Then, back in 2019, the straw that broke the camels back happened. My daughter died of ALS, at 37, when I was 65. I was introduced to an x-Missionary who was doing grief counseling for free in the community. It took a few years to learn to have a trusting personal relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Now, thru much Bible study, learing how to connect to the whole Trinity Prayerwisely and letting go like a child, I am a secure mature Christian, like described in James. People compliment me on how "I, Me, Do so much for Others". No, no, no don't say that I think. I must always remember to Give the Glory to God". The evil one trys to use this to Build up my false Pride. I absolutly don't want that. I fear if I don't, I will have to go back and learn another painful lesson. I don't want to repeat that. All praises to Holy God. I Thank You and love you, for allowing me to live Heaven on Earth. I am truly a secure Happy Camper under my Father God. I Pray and try to model this way of living for all those suffering around me, and seek God from the moment I wake up until I am asleep. God taught me how to enjoy relationships with, both easy and difficult people and nature and Christian Fellowship and the good things he's placed on Earth. Yes one can absolutely experience HEAVEN ON EARTH.
