“To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”
Revelation 2:7 

Heaven is our true home and our heavenly Father looks forward to His children coming home! God loves us. He desires to have a relationship with us and to live with us forever in eternity. Everything He does in our lives works out for good and brings us to saving faith so that we will enjoy the hope of heaven.

God desires our love. He has given us free will – the ability to choose whether or not we will follow Him. And He has compassion. It was this heart of compassion that brought Jesus to earth in the form of a man. It was the same compassion that Jesus willingly went to the cross to die in our place. And, it was this same compassion that Jesus rose from the dead and gave us the hope of eternal life.
