If we really Understood Heaven!

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will exist no longer; grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer," I will give to the thirsty the springs of the Water of Life, as a gift! Everyone who conquers will inherit all these blessings, and I will be his God and he will be my son."
Revelation 21:4,6b-7





"If we really understood Heaven, we would be most unhappy and unsatisfied with life on Earth. We would rebel against our earthly limitations. If we saw Heaven, we could not bear this earth. That's why Heaven is forever: we cannot bear to leave it after we get there." C.L. Allen

To all my family and friends, we love this life and none of us wants to die. Death is a subject that we choose not to discuss, but it is a part of the process of this life. No one welcomes death, but he does come without being invited. How do we deal with the pain of losing loved ones, being seperated from those we live with every day, what do we do when suddenly their chair is empty, or their side of the bed is un-occupied, their place at the dinner table is now vacant, happening so instantly that it doesn't seem real.

Death comes as a heavy blow to those of us who remain on earth, but for those who have gone to heaven, now understand and know what we all have been missing and will never return or have the desire to. Jesus said that He went to prepare a place for His people to come home. John saw a Holy city that is made of transparent gold like glass, walls made of jasper and the foundation stones inlaid with gems. The gates are made of pearls, each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure, transparent gold like glass. The city has no need of sun or moon to light for the glory of God and of the Lamb will illuminate it.

God Himself will wipe away all our tears and there will be no more death and no more grief or crying. If we really understood heaven then we would be so unsatisfied here on earth. On sunday Uncle Billy got a glimpse of heaven and as much as he loved you, he could not resist what he saw sitting there amongst everyone. It was so beautiful that he didn't want to say goodbye, for as he was sitting there you may not have seen, but God was wiping every tear from his eyes. In that moment God freed him of his pain and took him in His bosom and told him to rest and so Uncle Billy went to sleep. The bible tells us to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

So now family Billy sleeps waiting for you! Our day will also come. Billy has always been a fighter and has won many battles in this life, and he did not lose this battle either, because of Jesus we have the victory over death, and everyone who conquers will inherit all the blessings of God. But to those who turn back from following Him and remain unfaithful to Him will not enter into that type of rest. Billy made his peace with God and got it straight, I can just imagine that he may have been humming to the tune from the song, "climbing the stairway to heaven", family lets get right with God so we can see everyone who has made it in. Please don't miss out on eternal life in heaven, the gift of heaven is your's to receive!
