Dreaming of Heaven

I always wonder how beautiful it is to see heaven in front of my eyes. When the word “heaven” comes into my mind, I imagine that it is the most beautiful place that I have ever visited (i.e. Switzerland). An eternal dwelling place where people from different nations sing praises and worship God.

Anyway, below is a photo of beautiful view in Switzerland!

I like to listen to Oceano by Josh Groban. I know the meaning is nothing to do with heaven things. But the tune somehow evokes a feeling of serenity and beauty. It’s as though I was in heaven at that very moment.

When I close my eyes, I see…

a grass field and a bridge over the river
I was wearing a white swirling dress,
and I was freely singing,
dancing in front of the Lord…
Enjoying every minute the Lord’s presence,
it was so beautiful.

Some sceptics may think of the very reason the purpose to dream of heaven. Perhaps it’s something that we think it’s too far ahead, we prefer to think about the present fact! But I just believe the present fact that I will end up in heaven one day. And that’s the reason I imagined the unseen fact.

Remember, the scripture says to set our minds on things above, not on earthly things (Colossians 3:2).

When I think of heaven, my earthly matter wouldn’t be as important as I had seen before. My struggle is not too difficult to overcome anymore. Any pains easily go away. When I think of heaven, I could imagine Jesus would embrace me, and welcome me to enter the place called home. My family and friends would also warmly welcome me. When I think of heaven, it reminds me that I am living temporarily. I may hold TR (Temporary Resident) or PR (Permanent Resident) status in earth, but the fact remains… that I am a Citizen. A citizen of Heaven!

Have you ever dreamed of heaven? Let’s start dreaming! You will find that your earthly struggle is not as much as the reward you will receive later. I believe heaven is more beautiful than any beautiful places I have ever visited.

Perhaps, you are still planning to go heaven? You may need a traveller’s guide then. I got a wonderful link. Find it here.
