Do you ever wonder how we as believers will spend eternity? In the last chapters of Revelation, John answers that question when he reveals what is known as the “eternal state”, or the eternal destiny of believers.

Micah 7:18
There’s a quotes which says, “The ones who love you will never leave you. Even if there are a hundred reasons to give up, they will find one reason to hold on.” People, hurt, disappoint, and desert us. But there is One who loves us unconditionally, and no matter what will never leave nor forsake us. And that is God. Even though we fail Him daily, and give Him plenty of reasons to, God will ever give up on us. Never! Israel rebelled repeatedly against God. Yet even now, He hasn’t abandoned His chosen people. The prophet Micah took great hope in God’s forgiveness and grace. Knowing the Father would one day send His Son as Savior to the world, the prophet declares, “Who is a God like You?” Indeed, who is like our God? My heart cries out in thankfulness. For our Father, full of mercy and delighting in unchanging love, soon forgets His anger. And He is always there waiting to welcome us back into His loving arms.
