How Far You are From Heaven

Xuefeng

Oct 7, 2013

Do you believe that there is a place in the universe where everyone loves each other and treats each other kindly and where people never quarrel or fight, where there is no marriage, family, currency, or personal property, and where people never worry about food, clothes, shelter, transportation, living, aging, sickness, or death? It is a place where the environment is beautiful and serene like Xanadu and where people often play games and have endless fun together, a place where love is free and everyone does their work freely, nobody manages or monitors them, “no one would pocket anything found on the ground, and doors are not bolted at night”, where people and people, and people and nature coexist harmoniously and never harm each other?

Do you still not believe in the existence of heaven? If you believe what I am saying here, then come to see how near you have come to heaven now.

If you do not believe that you are made by the Greatest Creator, but rather by your parents, then you are endlessly far from heaven.

Why can you not see the scenery of heaven? Because you are too far from it. If you try to get close to heaven, step by step, the scenery will become clearer, eventually you will see heaven. Just have a try if you do not believe me.
