Heaven

The other night in our bible study, we engaged in a conversation about heaven. The final stop, or hopeful stop for many. As we dove into this thing called heaven, we came out of the conversation with more questions than answers.

One thing I have realized the word heaven is used a lot. Perhaps, used too much, because people don't realize the weight of that word. For example, when Christians are explaining heaven to people .... what do you say? Golden streets? Praising God 24/7?

Heaven, heaven, heaven.... people say

The concept is very hard to wrap our minds around. Yet, we feebly attempt to try and understand the complexity of heaven. People claim that, they want to be there. But do they really? Think about it. Heaven is FOREVER!!! The right answer is to say, awesome can't wait.... But that to me, is the real question. Are you anticipating heaven? Our lives will eventually end.

What if, you knew your life was coming to the end. And that you would miss out on opportunities to experience life like... marriage, growing old, driving.... etc think about it. Would you be so excited about going to heaven?

People claim to be excited, but are you really excited? Heaven is about God and not us.

When our conversation came to an end. We came to the conclusion that heaven will be a lovely place. But to think that everyday, we are yearning for that moment would be lie. We have our lives to live. And believe it, or not we get caught up.

Needless to say, God is big and he delivers. Heaven will blow us away. Many try to understand heaven, but I rather wait and see.

Perhaps, getting use to the idea of heaven being forever is a process, a journey, that depends on the person. But one thing is certain when the world ends, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
