Heaven Part Two
I wish I had the words to describe Heaven for you. City of Lights has often been used, and yet it seems so trite. You know that the streets of gold that the Bible talks about isn’t a street of jewels. It’s streets filled with a golden sunlight, a golden light so beautiful, we simply just can’t imagine how beautiful it really is. And rainbows, beautiful, vivid rainbows, for God’s Promises fill the land. Each more beautiful than the next. Rivers with the sun shining on them, so crystal clear, that you can drink straight from the river. Trees and meadows, mountains and flowers, fruit everywhere, just waiting for you. Shining seas. Picnics, and walks. Running like the wind and never growing tired.
It’s simply amazing! Just like God’s Grace and Love for us.
Imagine a world where every wish is taken care of. There is no pain, no worry and no fear. No fatigue, no medicine, no rushing, no illness, no struggle. Only Joy and Peace. And beauty. A beauty so amazing that you could just spin and spin around and spin around some more, drinking it in forever. And if you only did that, it would be enough. But there is so much more to see and do! Grand adventures, spending time with those you love. Being fearless, not courageous in the face of fear, but truly not having any fear! It’s hard to even imagine, but this is Heaven. I have seen it and God has told me. 🙂
And there is work in Heaven, if you can call it that. For it is work that never tires you, never rushes you, and always contributes to something that you really care about and enjoy. Work that you want to do.
And there are friendships in Heaven. Real ones. The kind that fills you up until you are overflowing. And they will never cause you pain or heartache. Only Joy. And strength.
Many people think that Heaven is just some mystical place up in the clouds. But it’s not. It’s as Real as the ground upon which you stand.
You will walk, you will run, you will have fun. And you will see the people you love and those who love you.
You will never be cold or tired again. You will fly like the wind, with the sun warming you all the way through.
Get ready for absolute and complete Joy, for that is what Heaven is.
