I often think of Heaven, especially since my youngest child lives there. I look forward to the day when we will be reunited. I dream about seeing him when I arrive and running to embrace him. I wonder if he will look the way he did when he left this earth or if he will have aged. But that is not the best thing about Heaven.
No more suffering, what a beautiful thing that will be! No more pain, no more hurt, no more agony, not physical or mental or emotional. All will be healed! But that is not the best thing about Heaven.
No more sin! This is going to be absolutely amazing! I am not perfect, though saved by grace and walking in grace, I still fall short. I say things I shouldn't say and do things I shouldn't do. I confess, repent, and continue on this journey. No more sin, no more wrong desires, that will be amazing! But that is not the best thing about Heaven.
Being reunited with loved ones and other believers. Not only will I see Silas again, but my grandparents also! Not only them, but heroes of the faith like David, Elijah, Enoch, Esther, Mary, Elizabeth, and Ruth. What a joyous time of fellowship and worship we will have together as we share stories of the great things God has done for each of us! But that is not the best thing about Heaven.
We will worship. I believe that not only will we be singing praises to God but we will share our testimonies with each other as an act of praise to Him.
However, the best thing, the greatest thing, about Heaven, for us, will be to finally be with God. To be in the presence of our Savior! To embrace the One who gave His life so we could be with Him. What joy! What perfect peace! What complete fulfillment that will be!
To be with Jesus, forever. Yes, that is the best thing about Heaven.
