Welcome to Hope Talk
In the profound ending to the Narnia Chronicles, C.S. Lewis tries to share the absolute joy coming to all those who will come at the end of their earthly lives and be united with our God for all of eternity:
The things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before. C. S. Lewis, The Last Battle, p.165.
This is a renewing of the mind. We are not home. We are just beginning the great eternal journey that will be our destiny. Remind yourself of this truth that we are not home, and this is not our home, but we are to live according to that truth, not living in this world, or loving this world, and even being influenced by this world. We are passing through to another place that Jesus is preparing for us. I go to prepare a place for you… I will come again… that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:2,3) Remind yourself of this truth. We are made for another place so live like that.
