Heaven is Different

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4 (NIV)

Heaven is where our hearts and minds will no longer be occupied with fear, sorrow, or grief. The days of ceaseless tears, emotional rollercoaster rides, and wonderment about loved ones long deceased, will be over. Heaven will be where we will worship our Creator without worry of the things of this world because it will be made new.

It’s hard for us to imagine not having any thoughts of worry or concern, but that is what we’ll have in Heaven — not a burden to carry or a nagging thought of guilt, regret, nor second guessing a what-if. In Heaven we will be fully focused on Jesus.

Let’s pray today to set our heart and mind on that soon coming day when pain will exist no more.
