Degrees in Heaven

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and in heaven, each of us will have a personalized capacity to enjoy God and serve him. And, boy, do I want to increase my capacity while on earth. Because in Matthew chapter 5, Jesus speaks of people who are least in the Kingdom of heaven; and then, He speaks of those who are great in the Kingdom.

So not all of us will have the same capacity for joy and service and worship in heaven. Some will have a gallon-sized capacity, others, perhaps a quart-sized capacity. Some may have a thimble-sized capacity. But don’t worry, every person in his capacity will be filled to overflowing with joy, worship and service for all of eternity. So… how do we increase our capacity and move from being least to great in the Kingdom? It all depends on what we do here. So, get rid of sin, start obeying, and start stretching your capacity for heaven.
