Heaven is God’s home, a kingdom that will last forever. It’s a real city that sits higher than the drifting clouds, the glowing moon, and the shining stars. Angels sing as they wander the golden streets. The sound of saints’ laughter as they talk fills the air with joy. Animals leap across God’s garden fields of flowers, alive with colors we’ve never seen. They run through forests of ancient trees and swim in refreshing waters. The building walls shimmer with pearls, stones, and gems. Each one catches every glimmer of heaven’s light. Orchards drip with fruit, inviting all to have delicious bites of sweetness. Here, pain is soothed by love’s gentle hand. Sorrow and suffering vanish like they never existed. Gathering at God’s table brings friendship, stories, and good food. The names of everyone there are etched in God’s book of life, which can never be erased. Heaven’s wonders are beyond what we can ever dream or imagine. Right now, Jesus is preparing a forever-home for all who confess with their mouth that he is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised him from the dead. When it’s time for anyone who believes in Him to leave this world behind, heaven’s doors will fling wide open with a warm welcome and an everlasting promise of perfect peace, beauty, and belonging forever. ...

“You will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ’s company, without a conflict and a cross. I find crosses to be Christ’s carved work that he marks out for us and that with crosses he portraits us to his own image, cutting away pieces of our ill and corruption. Lord cut – Lord carve – Lord wound – Lord do anything that may perfect thy Father’s image in us and make us ready for glory. It is the Lord’s kindness that he will take the scum off us in the fire. Who knows how needful winnowing is to us and what dross we have before we enter the kingdom of God? So narrow is the entry to heaven that our knots, lumps of pride, self-love, idol-love, and world-love must be hammered off us, that we may stoop low and creep through into that narrow entry.
