A stranger in a lost Paradise

A stranger in a lost Paradise

I think I do need someone to hold my hand in this strange land.
A Rose is beautiful but it will stick you with the thorn hidden from your view, be careful lest the dog or snake bite you on the hand.
I like when it's warm, hate when it's cold, in the winter, the fire place really warms the soul especially when you have grown old.
Why am I a stranger in this lost land? I was born from above, a "New Creation" saved by Jesus and his love.
A citizen of Heaven am I, my true home is beyond the Sky!
One day I will fly away, Jesus is coming for me, all his Glory I will see, forever with him I will stay.
God's curse has been upon this earth to this day, no one but he can take it away.
We all groan with dismay, so much pain and suffering are here today, when will it end we pray.
There is hope I can say, the Lord will remove the curse from the earth, you can know this through the new birth.
When Jesus returns and sets up his 1000 year reign, all the creatures will love us again; even the Lion will be your friend.
With the curse lifted, the earth will be gifted, milk and honey will flow, much abundance you will know.
We are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior Philippians 3:20 NLT.

No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him Revelation 22:3 NLT
The cow will graze near the bear. The cub and the calf will lie down together. The lion will eat hay
like a cow. Isaiah 11:7 NLT
.
The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra. Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm Isaiah 11:8 NLT.

The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. But the snakes will eat dust. In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain. I, the LORD, have spoken!" Isaiah 65:25 NLT

These are wonderful promises from God, the earth returning to Paradise conditions. We will be back as it was in the Garden of Eden with the Lord, sin gone forever never again to separate us from the Lord, the earth never again cursed but forever blessed.
