It has warmed up here. We are expecting a chilly weather this weekend though. Anyhow, my day was fine, I worked last night and it was not bad. I had a good night at work. I went to the gym afterwards. My body is kinda sore now... hehe... I missed the YMCA for what... 3 months? hehehe. I came back to my senses so I went :D

I missed the church tonight, I was so tired :( I didn't wake up til 11:00pm this evening. Now at 2 AM I am wide awake 8-|

Anyways, I encountered these questions regarding Heaven. Is it really a place or a state of mind? What's in heaven? Will I see my loved ones there? How do I go to heaven?

Heaven is a place, Heaven is where God is. Jesus said in John 14:1-2

"Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly."


And Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:1

For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down--when we die and leave these bodies--we will have a home in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.

I believe we will see our loved ones who are in the Lord who have gone before us. We may not know them as our father, spouse, child (for we are all children of God in heaven and the bride of our bridegroom, Jesus Christ) but we will know them by name, just as God knows us and called us by name.

The way to heaven? Jesus is!

John 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

What is in Heaven?

Revelations 21

3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.

4 He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever."

I long for that day when my Lord comes to take me home!

But for now, I press on!

Philippians 1:21-24

For to me, living is for Christ, and dying is even better. Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ. I really don't know which is better. I'm torn between two desires: Sometimes I want to live, and sometimes I long to go and be with Christ. That would be far better for me, but it is better for you that I live.

He is our hope! God Bless!!!
