Heaven: The Joy That Awaits the Believer

God has planned the New Earth

to be far more beautiful beyond our imagination!

Dew drenched roses, and lilies,

will spill forth in abudunce upon the New Earth.

We will breathe in its celestrial fragrance,

and be captivated in the One who created it all!

It will delight our senses!

The fragrance of honeysuckle, lilacs

and hyacinths, intermingle among the few.

It's breath taking waterfalls will captivate our hearts

as God lavishes the Earth with His goodness.

We'll be so in love with the Creator

that we will see Him everywhere!

In the sunkised hills

and soft green pastures,

in the innocene of a child, 

and in the sparkles that dance on the lake. 

Most of all, we shall see Him!

We will behold His glory!

He will shine like the sun in pure radiance,

as He welcomes us Home, into the gates of Heaven.

What shall we say in His presence?

Oh the tears that shall flow

when we kiss His nail scarred hands and feet!

The uncertainties of life, will be made known to us

as now we see through a glass darkly,

but then face to face.

We'll have a glorious reunion with those who fell asleep in Jesus!

Oh, to see their smile and feel their touch,

never to part again.

We'll rekindle old friendships, and build new ones

 with those whose lives we touched on the earth.

We'll walk in the presence of the Lord, and He with us,

Loving one another, but   in love with the Lord.

The regrets of our sin will vanish away

for His hand shall wipe away our tears!

We'll drink freely from the water of Life, 

that satisfies even the deepest thirst.

Our labor for the Lord will be sweet!

Untouched by the frustrations

that we have known on the earth.

Those who plow the fields will have no sweat to the brow,

no thistles, or multiforal rose bushes to entangle in.

No need of sunscreen in the New Jerusalem!

We'll stand in wonder of an majestic mountain,

as we worship the Creator of it all.

Our strength will be renewed like the eagle,

flowing with youth and vitality!

Love for one another will be pure and wholesome,

uninhibitated by the sins we have known on the earth.

We'll run and laugh, 

dance and sing...

feeling the delight of His smile, as a father delights His children.

"The eyes of the blind shall be opened,

and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Then shall the lame man leap as in hart,

and the tongue of the dumb sing..."

~ Isaiah 35:5-6

We'll  giggle, making snow angels

and catch snowflakes on our tongue!

We will have eternity to fulfill our dreams 

and get reacquainted with old friends.

"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,

and come to Zion with songs,

and everlasting joy upon their heads:

they shall obtain joy and gladness,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

~ Isaiah 35:10

Oh soul, imagine the joy that awaits the believer!

***

It should overwhelm our hearts

to know that the God of the Universe

longs to spend eternity with those

who place their faith in Him.

He, who spoke the world into existence in only six days, 

yet for over two thousand years, 

He's been building us a Home in Heaven!

"...we are confident, I say,

and willing rather to be absent from the body,

and present with the Lord."

~2 Corinthians 5:6-8

We will be His bride, whisked away to a place

He has prepared for us. 

Our relationship so full and complete,

as we focus on Him in the New Jerusalem.

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,

coming down from God out of Heaven,

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

~ Revelations 21:2

..."And He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,

and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

~Revelations 21:3

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;

and there shall be no more death,

nor sorrow, nor crying,

neither shall there be any more pain:

for the former things are passed away.

~Revelations 21:3-5

...The Holy Jerusalem, decending out of Heaven from God,

having the glory of God: and her light 

was like unto a stone most precious, 

even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal...

~ Revelation 21:10-11 

"And they shall see His face... ~ Revelations 22:4

"...And they shall reign forever and ever." ~ Revelations 22:5

O soul, imagine such a place!

Tonight, do you know the Lord Jesus?

Have you been to the cross for the repentance of your sins?

The Scripture says,

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,

and shalt believe in thine heart

that God hath raised Him from the dead,

thou shalt be saved."

~Romans 10:9

Right now, wherever you are, you can bow your head

and commit your life to Christ.

You can begin a relationship with Him

by praying a prayer such as the following:

"Oh God, I am a sinner.

I am sorry for my sins.

Please forgive me.

I want to turn from my sin.

I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior;

I confess Him as my Lord.

From now on, I want to follow Him.

Thank you for saving my soul.

In Jesus' name, Amen."

If you have decided to trust Jesus Christ as your Savior

after reading this invitation, please let us know.

We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient.
