i was just talking with a friend today about heaven. we shared different thoughts and ideas we had about it. thought i would share a couple things with you. :)
1. Something im really excited for is the music thats going to be in heaven. Once in a while ill just hear a song that is so beautiful ill keep playing it over and over. Im not "experienced" at all or know much about actual music but when i hear a song that just blows me away i think of how much greater the music will be in heaven and it blows me away even more. Or the harmony! can you imagine harmonious harmonies you cant even fathom here on earth going on right now in praises to the King? unimaginable. The worship can never cease! We wont have to stop because its getting late or because were getting too tired to keep going, or because we have somewhere else to be. We are there to worship forever, and worship forever we will!
2. will there be colors weve never seen before? or animals? colors we cant even imagine because every color we think of is some form of a primary color. would if theres a new primary color? :)
3. i wonder if our vision will change. like in "breaking dawn" when bella becomes a vampire (sorry but this is the only example i can think of to explain my thoughts) the way the author describes how her senses change is described in such detail you can almost get a picture of what it might be like. she can now hear things miles away. or the quitest things. and her vision was like she was looking through 20/20/20/20/20/20 vision. she now saw every partical in the air, the wall all the way across the room had a flake of dust that was now noticable. everything was now seen, heard, felt, in so much more detail. i think our senses will change so much that when we look back at our life on earth it will be like someone with horrible vision removing their glasses. "But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body, to be like His glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:20,21
4. what about your family? my parents will no longer be my parents. will they look at me and think "oh this was my child of whom i raised on earth"?
5.What about creation? when i see the ocean all I can think of is how glorious, mighty, and powerful our Creator is. Or looking at a starry sky, or a sunset/sunrise, how it all reveals what a glorious artist He is. How much more will it be breathtaking in heaven? How much more will we be able to see the glory of God displayed through His creation?
6. we will be feasting, but never be hungry.
"Never again will they hunger, never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down upon them, nor any scourching heat. For the lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:16-17
what are you excited for?
