Billions of dollars are spent every year on products that promise to make us feel better. They promise to make us look years younger. It wasn’t so long ago that these products were marketed only to the senior adult population. However, with Americans being totally consumed with their appearance, these products are being snatched up by everyone. If you can come up with a cream, a drink, or a piece of equipment that will give people energy, or suck fat out while you eat like a pig; then you will make millions. Each of these type of products are new, improved and the result of “scientific breakthroughs”. People will believe anything if you add the word “scientific” to it. I have no doubt that there might be some of these products that are scientific breakthroughs.
I am skeptical about these claims for every product. Of course, if they don’t try and sell you a product because of its’ miraculous science achievement, it will be marketed as a discovery from a far away land. How come there are no products being discovered in the forest of East Texas or the Smoky Mountains? These miracle cures to make you look better always come from the jungles of some foreign country, or a remote oriental island that the seller is sure that few people in America have ever visited or known it even existed. I am actually curious to see an interview with whomever these people are who ventured into the remotest part of the South American Amazon jungle, found some unknown plant, and began to rub it all over their body and eat it. What a miracle! By eating this plant, I now can jump a picket fence. By smearing the leaves of this plant on my body, my stomach and thighs just shrank. And all of it happened while I slept and still ate at McDonalds every day in downtown Juji Muwangi. Maybe we should let Geraldo interview some of these people. I wonder how many rub some herb on their face and are never heard from again.
I said all of this to tell you that I know of a cure for old age. I have discovered a way to look younger instantly, feel better forever and have unlimited energy and power. And this won’t even cost you a dime. It’s free. What is this miracle” cure all”, and the fountain of youth all rolled in to one?
Salvation through Jesus Christ. Once we are saved by the blood of Jesus, we have a miracle cure for what ails us. We have a home in heaven where we will never grow old. There will be no more frail and infirmed bodies. We all get a new glorified body. People won’t be all bent over with arthritis and osteoporosis. People that were so sick before they died here on earth will be up running around and praising God in heaven. Those that could not breathe will be able to shout and sing and never lose their breath. Those who could not walk well, will leap with joy and fall down before the throne.
There will be no jealousy or envy in heaven, so we will all look awesome. You can say to your neighbor, “my you look good in your new glorified body”. They can then turn to you and say, “well so do you.” No one will feel shame over their body in heaven. No one will make a joke about your hair, your wrinkles or your weight. I can only imagine! Our new glorified bodies will be forever full of energy. Do you think we will ever be exhausted in heaven? Do you think while all the saints gather at the throne to praise Him who sets upon the throne, that you would be back in your dwelling place because you just didn’t feel good. You were tired, and all the beautiful flowers and trees of heaven have given you a sinus headache. You can’t make the praise session today because it is Spring time, and you have allergies.
The good thing is there will be no more allergy seasons. The ages will just roll. There will be no tornado warnings so that we have to all run from the throne and go seek shelter. We will be directly under the shelter of the arm of God.” It’s too hot. It’s too cold. It’s too humid.” These words will never be uttered again. Perfect weather. Perfect bodies. Perfect time of celebration that never ends. Perfect Father sitting on His throne. Perfect Savior who made it all possible seated at the right hand of the throne. No more hurt feelings. No more aches or pain. No more night, for the light of the lamb will shine so bright forever.
I am not saying that you shouldn’t buy your wrinkle cream. I am not saying that you shouldn’t buy one of those spring loaded contraptions that you put under your chin and press it to your neck, and automatically look 30 years younger. I am just saying aren’t you glad this isn’t our home! Be content with such things as He has given you. Stop beating yourself up about the way you look. Don’t be obsessed with wrinkles, fat and hair loss. Those are just friendly reminders that this life is but a mist. Our real life begins when we get home to heaven, and it will be constantly wonderful-forever! God thinks you are beautiful. He doesn’t judge you by worldly standards. He doesn’t care so much how you look now, because He knows how you are going to look someday. Look better instantly. Feel better quickly. Have wrinkles removed permanently. Get saved! You are instantly beautiful to the Lord, and soon, and very soon, you will look awesome in glory!
