Beautifully said!

Heaven is, to me, also this: reconciliation of all souls, finally knowing True Love.

God is indeed in heaven. And He is in us. We are now in heaven, when we are in communion with Him, learning to do Right.

Blessings!

Dogs. Lots of dogs. All my beloved dogs who got there before me.

I have a friend who died in a horrific motorcycle crash, then came back. The first question I asked him was, "did you see dogs? Were there dogs there."

He said yes, there are dogs there, but didn't elaborate.

He said he went fishing with his grandpa.

He said people don't talk there. They just know without talking.

Bad news: dogs aren't getting in. It says so right here in my Bible:

"For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. " Revelation 22.16

Sorry..


Blessings,

Reading Randy Alcorn's book entitled "Heaven" (based on Scripture) is radically changing what I THOUGHT Heaven was like and where it would be located.

Three things:
1) Theologians (smart ones) warn against taking Revelations literally,
2) My dog, now deceased, deserves to be there more than some religious people I know, and
3) If you read all the "laundry lists" in Revelations, none of us will be going

.....

Where all things are made new and there is beauty everywhere, and no sin and death, no suffering and sorrow, a constant wave of love washing over all, with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

You know, of course, that we get a taste of heaven even while in these mortal bodies, particularly when we enter into worship. I was in a heavenly place yesterday while raking my back yard and worshipping God in song (with my ipod playing and I was saturated with such glorious thoughts about God while "working".

You were experiencing a bit of the Kingdom right there in your backyard!

Wherever we are, we are His creation! Even when we don't feel that Presence of Him within us, yet He has our hand upon us.

And what a beautiful thing to think of all men and women in worship of the Father together, in unity, in righteousness, in fellowship like we're supposed to be...

Blessings,
brian

Amen. Heaven to me is God. God = Love and heaven is when love is expressed in all - always. No more sin, separation, death, tension, confusion, misinformation, sickness, evil, corruption, just God being all in all, with the creation at peace, at rest in Him. God being fully expressed and experienced in all that He has created and all for His glory.


Each soul having love for the Creator and Jesus, and each and every other soul that God has created

And lots of music, all kinds of music, beautiful fragrances and many beautiful and fruitful adventures that God has prepared for us. God bless and peace.
