Heaven

There are times in my life where I have been filled with the most intense, inexpressible joy. It is uncontainable; I overflow. It's as if it pours out of every pore of me, as there is not enough of me to hold it in. And the best part? God blessed me with that joy on earth. Can you imagine finally getting to Heaven; the joy that we will experience? If what I feel now, although only in moments, is indescribable- how much more will it be magnified by my Lord when I am finally there?!

 And if those mere moments of intense, over flowing joy wasn't enough to excite us for Heaven, God has given us a glimpse of Heaven, found in the Bible.

Revelation 4
The Throne in Heaven
After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said,  "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.
   And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:  the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,

    "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
    who was and is and is to come!"
 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
  "Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
   to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
   and by your will they existed and were created."



How wonderful will it be when we give glory and honor to God always. It will never cease and there will be no sin to interfere!

MARANATHA!
