When I think of "heaven" it reminds me of a song by Mercy Me that I sing joyfully and which chokes me up every time.
"I can only imagine what it will be like when I walk by Your side.
I can only imagine what my eyes will see when Your face is before me.
I can only imagine...I can only imagine.
(chorus): Surrounded by Your Glory,
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your Presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah -
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine... I can only imagine...
I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son.
I can only imagine when all I will do,
Is forever, forever worship you...
I can only imagine. (repeat chorus)"
Such a powerful song!
When I envision my heaven, I feel no pain, no stress, no worry, no hunger, no thirst for anything ~ I will feel only pure, unconditional LOVE, peace and joy. I imagine feeling as if I have come home, finally, and can rest in eternal bliss and warmth and light.
I see myself surrounded by all the souls I've known throughout the life I've just experienced and throughout eternity. I envision perfect beauty ~ God's creation, not man-made. Awe-inspiring, breathtaking beauty, more beautiful and magnificent than anything I've seen here on earth.
I believe that my experience will be unique to me ~ the Utopia that only I could ever create. I will SEE more clearly like I've never seen and always wanted to, KNOW more fully like I've never known and always wanted to, FEEL more deeply like I've never felt and always wanted to and LOVE more intensely like I've never loved but always wanted to.
This will be a place especially created for me, from my own eternal deep desires and creativity within. A precious gift given by my Creator. Too perfect, too beautiful, too delicious for words.
