One of the most inspiring messages I have seen as a result of the Charlie Kirk assassination is “Make Heaven Crowded.” I love the simplistic reminder of what our call is as Christians. As followers of Christ we have the opportunity to share His love with others. When I hear the phrase “Make Heaven Crowded,” my heart is filled with purpose. It reminds me that eternity is not just about me. it’s about bringing as many people as possible to know Jesus.
In John 14:2, Jesus says, “In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?” Imagine that. Heaven is not limited. There is room for all who will believe. And God, in His kindness, invites us to play a role in filling those rooms.
Making Heaven crowded doesn’t necessarily mean standing on a street corner with a megaphone. Often, it’s found in the quiet, faithful moments of everyday life, Showing kindness when others are harsh, listening when someone is hurting, offering forgiveness when it isn’t deserved, and boldly sharing how Jesus has changed your life. Each act of love plants seeds that God can grow into faith.
Think about it: every encouraging word, every selfless act, every testimony of God’s goodness may be the spark that draws someone closer to Him. When we live with eternity in mind, we become living invitations for others to get to know our Savior..
So each and every day, let us live with intention. Let us speak with grace, forgive quickly, serve humbly, and love deeply. Let us keep our eyes on Jesus and our hearts open to the people He places in our path. Because one day, when we stand in the presence of God, how beautiful will it be to look around and see faces we influenced.
Heaven is big enough for everyone. Let’s make it crowded.
Shine, Shine, Shine!
