DAY 6 Paradise in His Presence

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.  Revelation 21:3

“There was never a stable so like paradise.”  Indeed, when Christ dwelt as an infant in the manager, that became paradise for where he is, there is paradise.  Now, for us who believe, we too have a bit of paradise within as Christ dwells in us through his Holy Spirit.  With expectation, we wait eagerly for Christ’s return when we will dwell with him and he with us in fullness.
