Feeling weary and burdened? You're not alone. In this episode of The Debbie Chavez Show, Debbie and Kimberly discuss the deep longing for beauty and perfection in paradise with Jesus. They explore how this yearning is a natural part of our design, stemming from God's original intent to place us in the Garden of Eden.
The conversation is filled with relatable anecdotes, such as Debbie's awe at the Library of Congress's beauty and Kimberly's love for flower gardens, which highlight our intrinsic desire for beauty. They remind us that while we no longer live in Eden, this longing is not something to feel guilty about but rather a sign of our true purpose.
They dive into Bible verses that reinforce this idea, like 2 Corinthians 5:1-5 and Romans 8:18-25, explaining how our earthly struggles and sufferings are temporary compared to the glory that awaits us. The episode also offers practical advice on how to cope with life's challenges while we wait for paradise. Debbie and Kimberly suggest focusing on pleasing God through unshakable faith, self-control, and acts of kindness.
They share personal stories and biblical insights to encourage listeners to view their time on earth as a brief tuning session before the main event—eternity with Jesus. With humour and empathy, they address common struggles like dealing with difficult relationships, health issues, and financial problems, offering a fresh perspective on how to handle these challenges. So, if you're longing for Eden and wondering how to navigate life's ups and downs, this episode is a must-listen.
It provides a comforting reminder that our deepest desires point us towards a future with God, where all our longings will be fulfilled.
