What Will Heaven Be Like?

What is the most exotic vacation or place on
the globe that you have ever visited? Close your
eyes and revisit the beauty and grandeur of that
location for a few moments. If you've never been
to a place of great beauty or wonder of Nature,
recall some of the photographs that you've seen in
magazines, such as LIFE, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC,
or even your AAA or travel publications.
Wouldn't you like to live there all the time? Forever?
For eternity? Aside from any work that you may
remembr as a part of that trip, or any unpleasant
weather that may have occurred, picture the glory
and splendor of the best times you spent or
imagined at that "paradise"!
WHAT DO YOU THINK HEAVEN WILL BE LIKE?
If we take the word pictures that are given to us
in the Bible, Heaven will be just that - Heavenly!
Streets of gold, gates of pearl, pure water flowing
by the most gorgeous trees ever! The daytime
will never cease, as the Glory of God will lighten
the entire place! Night will be a thing of the past!
Music and praises to God the Father, Jesus Christ
the Son, and the Holy Spirit will continue unabated!
In addition to the beauty, there will be no sickness,
sorrow, pain, arguments, or fighting! No government
bodies to suppress or dominate the spirit or lives
of the citizens! No wars! No cancers! No loss of
limbs! No mental disorders! No death! No graves
or tombstones! Only life abundant!
WILL HEAVEN BE BORING?
Not in the least! Those who will be there will have
plenty to do: praising and thanking God for His
gift of SALVATION; praising and thanking Jesus for
providing ETERNAL LIFE; enjoying the handiwork
or God throughout the entirety of CREATION;
"catching up" on the intriguing aspects of the lives
of the SAINTS, both Old and New Testaments'
personalities; hearing the ANGELS tell of all that
they were privileged to witness throughout the
ages, including EARTH'S small part in the great
plan of the universe; and gladly performing our
Heavenly Father's bidding, which we can only
imagine for now!
Will we "manage" other planets and beings?
Will we "fly" from star to star and beyond?
Will we play a part in "other creations" such as
our own Earth's? No sci-fi, here, please, but we
are limited only by our finite human minds and
imaginations as to what Eternity in Heaven will
be like.
I know one thing - I EXPECT TO BE THERE,
THANKS TO JESUS' SACRIFICE, AND I PRAY
THAT I'LL SEE YOU THERE!!
