In the darkness of night, when the stars and moon are hidden behind clouds, there is often the tendency to forget that the night will soon fade, and the sun will rise and chase the darkness away. If you can outlast the darkness, then the sun will rise. When we are confronted with the darkness of troubles, sorrows, and pain in this life, we can be assured that the resurrection of God's only begotten Son gives us the hope that Heaven awaits those who are God's children. As we face obstacles, trials, and tests in this life, there is always the hope that we're almost to our goal; we're almost to Heaven. Almost Heaven is a compilation of articles aimed at providing encouragement to those that strive toward Heaven.
