Chris' prayer: Jason Upton's "Glory Come Down"

As in Heaven it will be
I don't worry much about where I'll spend my eternity. Don't get me wrong – this is no boast, and I'm not saying I will go to Heaven. The truth is, I don't know. And the truth is also, it isn't much up to me.

I mean, sure, I believe that Christ Jesus died and rose from the dead to show that love reigns over all, and some will tell me that simply believing that will get me into Heaven. Others would tell me that faith without works is dead, and that I must also be a good person. Those along with others would give me a list of anywhere from two to a hundred things I need to do to be faithful. Everyone believes that they are right.

In the last few years, my thoughts have been less concerned with how to get me to Heaven, and more with how to get Heaven to come to Earth. I'll admit that I haven't done anything outstanding to further that cause, but I am trying. I want God's will to be done here on Earth as it is in Heaven, and daily I try to turn over my will to Him. It doesn't always happen, but I'm getting better about it. And as I get better about it, I'm slowly but surely pulling Heaven closer and closer to Earth.

Perhaps that will be enough to get my soul into Heaven. I'll leave that up to Him.
