Eternal life with Jesus will be heaven. 

"With" meaning intimate, face to face eye contacting relationship. 

Jesus is still here, even if we run from Him. 

We can't really not be with Him, because His presence is everywhere....

But we can get "distant" from Him in our minds. 

So can it be that eternal life, 

starting now for the accepting believer in Christ, 

is giving us tastings of heaven. 

On the other hand

Could it be that eternal life,

starting now for those who refuse to look Him in the eye 

(literally be WITH Him)

begins just the same

and whether it feels like it or not

proves to be a living hell

a life lived for self. 

By faith, you will be well--

Jesus is our faith. 

That's where we mess up as Christians. 

We try to summon faith

from our own power. 

If we only had enough, we would succeed. 

Isn't Jesus already enough? 

Your faith has made you well. 

Your Jesus isn't trying to fix you. 

He already fixed everything. 

Shalom. 

Everything is put right. 

It is finished. 

Eternal, endless, life!
