'A Place Prepared for Us in Heaven'

'A Place Prepared for Us in Heaven'

Hi Friends,
                                                      

'Every Creature Has it's Beauty, Place and Purpose'

Our post today will be giving some insight on 'A Place Prepared for Us in Heaven'. 
As we read some scripture in Revelation, it reveals to me that when God spoke in Heaven, He called it, "My Father's house."  Let's think of that for a moment. 

Heaven is the place where God lives, where His angels dwell, and where His people will spend eternity.  Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you will be also"  (John 14:1-3). 

We have the promise of Jesus Christ Himself that He will take us to His Father's house.  

The last two chapters of the last book of the Bible, Revelation, describe some of the grandeur of heaven:

God will be with His people.  "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them" (Rev. 21:3)

"They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads" (Rev. 22:4)

"Heaven will be a place of eternal joy. "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.  There shall be no more pain"  (Rev. 21:4)

Heaven's beauty is indescribable. It is full with the glory of God. "Her light was like a most precious stone. The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.  The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of  precious stones.  The twelve gates were twelve pearls.  And, the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass"  (Rev. 21:11, 18, 19, 21).

God is heaven's focal point.  "The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it.  The Lamb is its light" (Rev. 21:23)

It is my belief that those who will reject or neglect faith in Jesus will never see heaven.  Again, I am only penning my beliefs based on what I read/conceive and believe from the Bible.  I think that many books can cause one to wonder but to me the Bible is our guide as much as any book. Some will state that 'men' wrote this book, too.  However, this is my guide.  My belief and faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior is my focus that keeps me firm in my daily walk. 

As we continue to focus our attention on our Series, we have now covered 'What is Heaven like'.  He has prepared a place called 'Heaven' for any body that wants to live with Him.  And in today's reading, we hear where 'A Place has been Prepared for Us in Heaven'.  Again, He gave each of us a 'Will' to choose our destiny. 

We cannot know every detail as to how we will relate with our loved ones, in what way we might see and/or recognize them but we do know, we will be there in 'SPIRIT'.  I, in my own humble opinion and belief  feel that we will not see them as we saw them here on earth but we will know them through the 'Spirit'.  As for me, that is enough.  I will accept the rest by faith in Him. 

As for as, 'will it be scary when we die' and/or 'will we know when we are dying'.  I truly do not think so from my 'near death experience'.  You may refer back to my sharing my 'near death experience' and recall that I did not know that I was any place here on earth nor any place except this wonderful glorious place.  Then I woke up and I knew that I had been someplace other than here.  The doctor told me that I was 1/4" of death, so that is why I know in the physical form, to the professional medical team, I almost died.  All that I knew was I was surrounded in beauty and light.  Again, that is enough for me to walk the journey by faith in Him.  'What will we do in Heaven?'  We will feel no pain and be happy in His loving everlasting arms.  I think faith in Him is the key to live for this goal.

I hope that this enlightens us somewhat as to the many questions that we will never truly have an exact answer to.  However, another important question we could add to this Series is:  'how do each of us want to spend eternity?'  I feel most of the information and/or readings from the scripture that I have shared and will continue to share will lead us all back to God's original plan to reach Heaven.  

Our next post will relate to God's forgiveness to us for things we feel and/or have failed Him.  Following that, I will share on 'how do each of us want to spend eternity' and lastly, I will share on "Letting Go". 
I will conclude the Series on "Heaven, Death Dying and Letting Go' with the poem on 'Letting Go & Aging'.
