Dancing with the Stars

Matthew 13:43 (TEV) Then God's people will shine like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, then, if you have ears!

Romans 8:17 (TEV) Since we are his children, we will possess the blessings he keeps for his people, and we will also possess with Christ what God has kept for him; for if we share Christ's suffering, we will also share his glory.

Colossians 3:4 (TEV) Your real life is Christ and when he appears, then you too will appear with him and share his glory!

Revelation 22:5 (TEV) There shall be no more night, and they will not need lamps or sunlight, because the Lord God will be their light, and they will rule as kings forever and ever.

I have hope in the future. The Bible speaks about bodies being glorified. I know the meaning of that now. It's the time after my death here when I, the quadriplegic, will be on my feet dancing. —Joni Eareckson Tada
