NY Times Best Seller: "Heaven is for Real"

Last night, Bill and I watched the NBC evening news. Todd Burpo was interviewed with his family. Todd's son, Colton, had an emergency surgery which nearly took his life. Being only 4 years old, there were many things about Colton's family that he didn't know and hadn't been told. However, Colton told his parents that he met his sisters in heaven, who he later learned had been miscarried by his mother. He also said that he had met one of his grandfathers. When he was shown a picture, he didn't recognize the man. However, when his grandmother sent a picture that was taken when he was much younger, Colton recognized it immediately.

There is a spiritual warfare that is taking place all around us each day. The evil one is continuing to blind people with their pride and egos. God and His angels are calling the humble with child-like spirits. I am realizing more and more that only those who strip away their pride and recognize their need for God like a little child will never see heaven. The stakes are high, or the war between God and His enemies would not be so fierce.
