Heaven

When I think about heaven, I think about the streets of gold, transparent as glass, and the gates of pearl but, more importantly, I think about my Christ who sits at the right-hand side of His Father. I think about being held in the arms of Jesus and bowing to praise His holy name. 

HEAVEN

Although heaven is a mystery,

it has been talked about throughout history.

And, because heaven is real,

my heart is calmed and still. 

For me, heaven is a hope;

a promise; 

and that helps me, on earth, to cope. 

Heaven is my incentive-my desire

to be a fire for Christ;

an influencer, a witness, a changer for good,

even though heaven is not fully understood.

What I know about heaven, 

is that there is an eternity,

a timeless existence,

which make me want to run the distance. 

In my run and in my roam, 

there is a yearning for my forever home. 

One day, my heartbeat will sink;

I will blink

and be held in the arms of Jesus-

in Heaven.
