heaven

The bible paints a picture of what heaven will be like; God, in his perfection, at it's center, illuminating the beautiful city.  Heavenly creatures in non stop worship and praise.  Mansions prepared for us.  The climate is jubilant, triumphant and the tenor; melodic.  Righteousness prevails.  Purity wins out.  Truth is proclaimed.  There will be no more weeping, no more illness, no more sin.  It is a city that never ends, never fails, never ceases, never ruins, never tires.  And this human life is just a prelude.  Its a preparation; the foundation of our relationship with God begins here.  But it doesn't end here.  It ends in heaven.  A place where that relationship, once established, will never end.  "I will come back for you," Jesus replies....  "Remember me"  He states...  "Be strong and courageous,"  He urges...  "Love one another,"  He commands.  We got a lot to do in the mean time. He left us with instructions and he left us with a promise.
