Greeting Friends,

'a closing look'

 Today, let's take 'a closer look'.  I will try to share 'Eternal Life in Heaven'.  This might put some light on the questions I mentioned in my earlier post.  I will list them so we have them at hand.  Remember each one of these questions were asked to me.  

I am bringing them to light and decided to share this Series on 'Heaven, Death, Dying, Letting Go' as I pondered the questions, myself.  So, I pause to thank this individual for this.  Sometimes it is helpful to stir our thoughts, feelings and beliefs in these areas. 
I will pen a poem that I have written as we conclude this Series. 

• What is Heaven like?
• Will we know one another by appearance in Heaven?
• Will we know when we are dead?
• Will it be scary when we die?
• Will we know we are dying?
• What will we do in Heaven?
• How does divorced couples see the other in Heaven?
• How does divorced ex-couples and/or remarried couples relate?
• Will God forgive me for going through a divorce?
• Do we talk in Heaven and see people as we see them today?
• What will we know in Heaven?

Please remember, anything that I share is from my thoughts, beliefs, questions and comments.  I share to help us all ponder, wonder, search, study, discern and hopefully shed light on these subjects that most people find difficult in talking about or even have a desire to think about.

 

I feel that the greatest hope of all humans is that they will live again someday in heaven forever. The yearning to live again in a better place after death is an almost universal desire.  I think that there are many that think it is an 'inborn quest' placed in the human heart by God.  And, I believe that the only quest that 'can suffocate', if you will, is by the rebellion and from a person that 'just does not believe in God.  Again, I will take the risk and share my belief here. 

 

I have gathered from the Bible that while most people will admit to that distinctive yearning for life in a better world, only Christians and Jews have any definite knowledge of heaven.  

 

As we review the Garden of Eden 'before the Fall'.  It was gorgeous: a place of beauty, peace, and not just between humans and animals but the entire creation.  I believe that Heaven will be even better.  And, to me, that is the key---heaven is indescribable and so beyond our imagination for all of us.  
As sad as it feels for our loved ones, I feel going through 'a near death experience' was/is a blessing to the ones that have experienced it.  I know since I have experienced it, it has never left me in reflections of trying times, especially.  There is a sense of glory, hope and 'a cushion', so to speak, that I hold dear in my heart.  That is the only way I know to explain it.  It is something I will treasure and I will try, even harder, to continue to be a 'gimper' for God because of it.  {For those that do not know what a 'gimper' for God is.  A 'gimper for God' is a person that wants to always and ever discern what it is God wants them to be about in being a helper for Him.  'Jabez' was a true 'gimper for God'.} 

 

I will share in our next post 'A Place Prepared For Us in Heaven'.  There will be more specifics in shedding more light on our questions.  WE all know that the Bible doesn't give specific answers to a lot of our direct questions, but it does give us a guide to what it is that satisfies those questions.  I feel this is vital in how we live today.  It is our 'road map' to continue our journey here for our peace and in fulfilling our purpose for our life.  God has a purpose and plan for each and everyone of us.  Would it not be glorious to know that we are on purpose for the very reason we are all here? Well, God knows, God cares, God will show us that plan when we are in His Will and have a Desire to know it.   

Until next time

God Bless
