Kept in heaven for you!

When Lucifer started his separation from the Father so to did his sufferings begin. Suffering in some form is now part of the human experience.  Suffering seems to be an ingredient to soul salvation. It ‘s one of Gods strategies hoping His lost children will return to Him.  As we gravitate from or self to the Father we move from sin to holiness. The suffering is found in the dying old self we are leaving behind.  So it becomes clearer to us as we see the fallen away from God nature become less of who we are.  We suffer as we witness from our new self watching our old self or old nature dying or passing away.  In this satisfaction process we can rejoice as we are being born into the oneness found in our new life, the life of Christ. This is the transitioning from the fallen disconnected nature to the life of Christ we now live. So as we continue our journey back to the Father this temporary time of suffering is converted amazingly into an indescribable time of joy. Knowing Christ has been revealed to you and what the future will bring as we live in peace with God in our souls. Living the life of Christ within is our greatest JOY!!!

1 Peter 1:3-9

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
