Creation Journaling is also a time to talk about heaven as a real place, and a way to recognize the future new earth as a real, physical destination.
By being filled with wonder as we look at our current creation and the amount of beauty found there, we can direct that wonder to our future hope in Christ, when a new heaven and new earth will be a real place we can look forward to. Because, if this world, filled with death and decay, has so much beauty, then how much more beauty would be found in a New Earth, where Heaven has come down to live with it.
Creation Journaling should stir in us a hope for the future, a groaning towards what we are longing for it to be. What fear do we have of death? What fear should we have of not knowing if we will “like” heaven or be bored of the “same thing” ! As if the creator of the hummingbird or the Rockies could ever make something boring!
