At my rainbow's end, there is no pot of gold, but something more magnificent to behold. There won't be, as some think, beyond that last breath, just a burial plot for my home after death. We've more than a body; each one has a soul that can't be interred in a six-foot-deep hole. My conscious and undying soul will then be with Jesus, who saved me and set my soul free. I'll have a new, glorified body up there, sweet peace in a lovely place beyond compare, prepared just for me as my promised reward for trusting God's only Son, Jesus, as Lord. Right now we can’t grasp the full reality of life after death, souls, and eternity; but all-knowing God gives us what we need now-- His Spirit and His Holy Word that tells how to follow His plan and how Heaven can be the home of our souls after death sets them free. God walks with His children in life and in death and warmly directs them until that last breath. Beyond my last rainbow, a home waits for me in Heaven. God’s glory at last I will see.
