“I’m not going to die. I’m going home like a shooting star.” –Sojourner Truth
Our bodies are temporal, earthly. But our spirits are eternal, heavenly.
Deep within, we know the ways of heaven. We’re made of star stuff.
“On earth as it is in heaven.”
As above, so below.
We don’t need to reach far to find out who we are.
Our great work in this life is to become living expressions of heaven here on earth, expressing outwardly what’s in us inwardly.
Sojourner knew this truth.
And so do you.
