Heaven

  The vision of Heaven that I held for a long time was sort of like that song lyric "returning back to the garden", as in the garden of Eden. And in Genesis, we know that Adam and Eve lived in this perfect Garden, and even strolled together with the Lord in the cool of the evenings. Walking and talking with Jesus, I look forward to it. But having come recently from this life, I'd probably ask something stupid like, Lord, whats the deal with mosquitoes parasites and suicide gnats that fly in your eyes, couldn't this world have done without that? Imagine, I'd be standing in the presence of all knowledge, and I ask him about bugs? 

  So if you were to give it some thought, what do you think Heaven will be like? Believer or not, have you ever wondered what a place of perfect peace and happiness would look like? Besides what it looks like, what will our new bodies look like? Believe me, I don't know either, but I have gone with a variation of Jesus' upper room self. Whatever Heaven will be like, we know that we will never shed another tear, never again feel alone, have nothing to fear, no sickness, Perfect! 

  But just to give you a snapshot from the bible as to how Heaven will look. I had heard that the streets were paved with gold, so that made sense, I figured gold bullion bars in my mind, but boy was I wrong! Those solid gold streets are made of 100% pure translucent gold, like golden glass! The 12 gates that surround Heaven are each made from one giant pearl. Like a beautiful sculpture from solid stone, a gate carved from solid pearl. (Rev. 21:21)

  Much must happen before we can claim eternal life in Heaven as a resident must occur, but for those of us who Know Him, Jesus himself has promised it, so we know two things. We know it is true, and we look forward to it. As for you nay sayers? Imagine the most peaceful and perfect place you can for as long as you can. Free your mind to think on peaceful things, and give up negativity for a day. You'll enjoy the time spent, I promise.
