Category: Heaven On Earth

To be able to say ‘thank you’. To be overflowing with gratitude that you can’t help but flow over with blessings for other people.

To be able to receive what God wants you to receive. To give thanks with a smile in your lips and a song in your heart, knowing that you are loved, and that life has been passed on to you freely, wholeheartedly, with no expectation of anything in return. That my friend, is heaven.

Heaven is forgiveness. Being forgiven. And being able to forgive. Forgiveness brings peace. Forgiveness unites us and builds bridges where we once built walls. Forgiveness allows us to lay down our burdens, our guilt, our anger. When we finally find healing and wholeness, we find forgiveness as well. Forgiveness is heaven.

“… everyone has need to be forgiven.” – Lord Herbert

Just when you’re searching for peace, you suddenly hear them. You stop. It’s as though real angels were singing nearby. Before you know it, they’ve already touched your heart and calmed your fears.

You remember a time when life was much simpler, when you were a child, and your mother would take you to Church. You remember the song, you remember with your heart, and soon little drops of joy are flowing down your eyes.

Walking along the shore, picking up sea shells along the way. Feeling the powdery sand beneath my feet. Hearing the soothing sound of the crashing waves. Ah, to breathe the salty air as you watch the sun just rising from beneath the other side of the sea. You feel safe. You feel loved. You feel so close to heaven.

All We Have Are Glimpses of Heaven

What is heaven like? If you’ve ever been in love, you’d have known the feeling, the bliss. You’d have known magic, you’d have trusted eternity. For a few seconds of your life, God has allowed you to catch a glimpse of heaven, and secretly you wished it could never end.

How marvelous to always feel in love! How blessed to always have your beloved with you, never ever to part, never ever to lose the love you’ve found.

If such a bliss could really last, would you ever look for anything more? Would the word boredom mean anything to you at all? Surely not. You could hold each other’s hands for all eternity and it would still seem like the very first day you’ve met. Time is not for those who love, for the only time there could ever be is the present moment. Such is heaven. Such is perfection. Such is the full blessedness of love.
