Heaven is a good place. I long to be there, and behold my lovely Jesus....

 

Let your imagination picture the home of the saved, and remember that it will be more glorious than your brightest imagination can portray. SC 86

Those who in heaven join with the angelic choir in their anthem of praise must learn on earth the song of heaven, the keynote of which is
thanksgiving. 7T 244

Language is altogether too feeble to attempt a description of heaven. As the scene rises before me, I am lost in amazement.
Carried away with the surpassing splendor and excellent glory, I lay down the pen, and exclaim, “Oh, what love! what wondrous love!” The most exalted language fails to describe the glory of heaven or the matchless depths of a Saviour's love. Hvn 58

In heaven God is all in all. There holiness reigns supreme;
there is nothing to mar the perfect harmony with God. If we are indeed journeying thither, the spirit of heaven will dwell in our hearts here. But if we find no pleasure now in the contemplation of heavenly things; if we have no interest in seeking the knowledge of God, no delight in beholding the character of Christ; if holiness has no attractions for us—then we may be sure that our hope of heaven is vain. Perfect conformity to the will of God is the high aim to be constantly before the Christian. He will love to talk of God, of Jesus, of the home of bliss and purity which Christ has prepared for them that love Him. The contemplation of these themes, when the soul feasts upon the blessed assurances of God, the apostle represents as tasting the powers of the world to come. 5T 745

Heaven is a home where sympathy is alive in every heart, expressed in every look. Love reigns there. There are no jarring elements, no discord or contentions or war of words. Hvn 141

Heaven will all be harmony, peace, love, and unity. Gone will be sorrow, crying, and pain.
Best of all, death will be no more. Hvn 5

Heaven is a good place. I long to be there and behold my lovely Jesus, who gave His life for me, and be changed into His glorious image. EW 39




With what relief he hears in the distance its first faint cry. Following the sound, he climbs the steepest heights, he goes to the very edge of the precipice, at the risk of his own life. Thus he searches, while the cry, growing fainter, tells him that his sheep is ready to die. At last his effort is rewarded; the lost is found. Then he does not scold it because it has caused him so much trouble. He does not drive it with a whip. He does not even try to lead it home. In his joy he takes the trembling creature upon his shoulders; if it is bruised and wounded, he gathers it in his arms, pressing it close to his bosom, that the warmth of his own heart may give it life. With gratitude that his search has not been in vain, he bears it back to the fold. COL 188



Praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of His great mercy, He has given us a new birth and a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He has promised us an imperishable inheritance that will never fade away, kept for us in heaven. God will continue to watch over you and protect you until Jesus comes and you receive all He has promised to give you. 1 Peter 1:3-5. The Clear Word
