The other night Jon and I were talking about love languages and how we show love to others and like to be given love.

The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V of Germany (1500-58) was said to have spoken French to men, Italian to women, Spanish to God and German to horses.
I know God will have heard it all!

The other night the boys and I were praying. I asked them to join me and pray in tongues for a while. Sam prayed a short prayer and then said, “Mummy I know what God just prayed through me! He told me that Jesus is going to come back to earth soon!”

I confess I was stunned. I have not taught him this theology.
“What an amazing prayer Sam!” I said.

I then told the boys all about the fact that Jesus will one day come back and restore earth to His original intention for it (not just the original condition of it) They all got quite excited as I shared with them about the new heaven and new earth we are promised as believers.

It struck me that we are never told that God will make things ‘as they once were…’ We are not going to have an ‘old’ earth and an ‘old’ heaven as in the days of Eden. God is going to make it all again, fresh, new and not-yet-seen. YAAAAAYYY!

Whatever language you speak to yourself or to God, there seems to be agreement in many circles that Jesus is going to come back soon.
I am certainly praying for His swift return. I can’t wait to see a new heaven and a new earth. I don’t belong on this earth. It doesn’t really suit me. The older I get the more I realise that it is a temporary dwelling place for my eternal being that really belongs in the heavenly realms. Just like yours.
