Heaven--A Place of God's Love

Since Bonny left for Heaven five months ago, much of my thoughts have been "What exactly is heaven like?" I know with absolute certainty that it is a beautiful place as described in the Bible, but somehow I wanted to know what exactly does a person experience when he/she is there...the truth is I really want to know what Bonny is experiencing now for I miss him dearly. Then, sometime ago, a friend sent me an article written by a pastor named Dean Braxton about his experience in heaven. An extract from his article says: "Everything about Him (Jesus) is love, yes love for you, and it seems like it is only love for you. Yet you know in yourself that he loves all, but the love for you is so personal, it seems like it is only for you. You know He has cared for you for so long, and you do not want to leave that caring for you."

Then I began to read about various reports from those who have had an experience in heaven. Among many descriptions like colours and lights, etc., what is common in most report is as described by Ps Dean Braxton: "Love--God's love!" I believe in these reports as the Bibles clearly states that God is Love (1 John 4:16). I am so blessed to know that my love who has departed from me is enjoying the abundant completely pure love of God now! I am sure his skill in blowing the shofar is perfect now. I can't wait to join him when God's assignment for me on earth is done! Indeed, "for to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain (Phil. 1:21)!
