Heaven

I have not aways thought about heaven.  I think I took it for granted.  After all, I grew up on scripture, attended every service possible, memorized Bible verses from a very early age...so I knew all about heaven.  Today, it's a shock to meet anyone who doesn't know about heaven (or doesn't care to know), and amazing to see friends and even family who do not yearn for heaven or exhibit any desire to know more.

Isn't 1 Corinthians 2:9 enough?  "However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived—the things God has prepared for those who love him"

We have no conception of God's power and glory.  This planet?  This universe?  He spoke it and it was done.  He breathed it and it was made.  We can only imagine the glorious existence we have ahead of us, but we can be sure it will make this earth, this universe, pale significantly in comparison.  To see Him in His full glory will be magnificent at the very least.  What absolute joy awaits us!
