HEAVEN

NOW JUST THINK OF YOUR HEAVENLY HOME
WHERE WITH JESUS
AND LOVED ONES YOU´LL BE.
WHEN ALL THE BATTLES OF LIFE
HAVE BEEN FOUGHT
AND YOU´VE GAINED YOUR FINAL VICTORY.
WE HAVE READ OF THAT PLACE
WHERE THE STREETS ARE MADE OF GOLD.
WHERE NEW BODIES PREVENT US
FROM EVER GROWING OLD.
WHERE THINGS OF THIS LIFE
THAT GROW UGLY AND TRIVIAL
ARE OUTWEIGHED BY THE FACT THAT
THERE WILL DWELL NO EVIL.
I KNOW YOU LONG TO SEE
YOUR LOVED ONES ,
FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
SAVED, BAPTIZED BELIEVERS
THAT STRIVE TO PLEASE GOD
TO FOLLOW HIS GUIDE FOR BEHAVIOR.
BY FOLLOWING PRECEPTS
OF OUR SAVIOR AND LORD.
THEY WERE SAFE HERE,
THEN BOUND FOR GLORY
TO RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE AND REWARD.
LIVING LIFE ITSELF GROWS SWEETER
AS FAR AS RELATIONSHIPS GO.
ALSO WITNESSING
GOD´S GRACE AND MERCY
AS IT CONTINUALLY FLOWS.
BUT YES, SOMETIMES JUST THINK OF HEAVEN
WITH JESUS AND LOVED ONES AGAIN.
WITH THE BLESSED ASSURANCE
OF A WORLD
THAT WILL BE WITHOUT END.
