A college professor at a Christian school perceived that his
students held a distorted view of heaven; they considered it to
be static and boring. So, to stir their imaginations, he asked
them these questions:
“Do you wish you would wake up tomorrow morning to discover that
the person you loved most passionately loved you even more? Wake
up hearing music you have always loved but had never heard with
such infinite joy before? Rise to the new day as if you were
just discovering the Pacific Ocean? Wake up without feeling
guilty about anything at all? See to the very core of yourself,
and like everything you see? Wake up breathing God as if He were
air? Loving to love Him? And loving everybody else in the
bargain?”
In response to that professor’s intriguing questions, the
students all lifted their hands. If that’s what heaven will be
like, and even infinitely more so, they certainly wanted to be
there.
“I go to prepare a place for you,” Jesus told His disciples
(John 14:2). We all share the desire—really a deep-down
yearning—to be in that glorious home forever. It is a place of
indescribable bliss. And the supreme blessing will be the
presence of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself! — Vernon

When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory. —Hewitt
The greatest pleasures of earth cannot be compared to the
joys of heaven.
