BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN

December 20

hild of God, when I bring you to heaven, after you pass off the earth into your eternal reward, I will greet you myself. Your Father knows exactly to the instance the last day that you will spend on the earth. It will be a time of great rejoicing! You will notice something strangely wonderful about the air in heaven. When you breathe it in it will have the fragrance of highly purified mountain air with a sweet hint of evergreen. It will enthrall you and cause you great joy! Then you will have a sense of lightness about your new body--- the heavenly body that you will enter and possess for eternity. It will be easy to bend and run and leap into the air. All its parts will work perfectly, and you will offer great thanksgiving to your Father in Heaven for His faithfulness to you. In your body, you will have “rushes” of energy and you will want to run and jump over walls and race with others of your brothers and sisters. You will be young again, and never grow old. Your new mind in your heavenly body will be sensational. Thoughts will come to you instantly. Complex computations on the earth will be instantly “known” in heaven. It will thrill you that your memory will be perfect, clear and crisp. People around you will appear clearly, and you will be able to see great distances as though objects were close at hand. What a pair of heavenly eyes! Sometimes you will sense the loving thoughts of others without having to use your ears. You will perfectly determine the motives of others. There will be no need for strife, anger or misunderstanding because my word tells you, “Then shall I know even as I am also known.” (I Corinthians 13:12) You will notice that the gifts and talents that you possessed on the earth are greatly heightened in heaven. If you are an artist, you will learn to grow as a “master” in your abilities. The Son of God will personally instruct you in the areas of your talents. How do you like that? He can be everywhere with everyone at the same time and still love each one with intense interest and caring! Want to hear more? You will recognize your dear mother and father and other loved ones instantly. All the love that you stored up and shared on earth with those that you truly cared for will be multiplied in heaven and you will be happy to see them. They will also want to see you and to laugh and dance and cry and shout for endless times. Want to go to heaven, child? Bow your head to your Heavenly Father, stretch out your hands and lift your heart to be clean and healed in His presence. The reward awaits you, and this is only a small part of what awaits you on the other side. Your Father loves you!

Father, I cannot imagine the incredible place that you have prepared for us. It is a land where no one grows old. I praise you for that great day coming for all of us who have the hope of the Lord Jesus. You are my inheritance, Father through Jesus Christ our Lord, amen!
