Heavenly Joy

Are you tired of sorrow and sadness? I have good news for you; get to Heaven, there will be no sorrow and sadness. In the final book of the Bible, Heaven is described as a place of wonderful freedom from pain, sorrow, and suffering. Joyful moments here are just that—moments. They seem to end quickly. In Heaven, joy is eternal. Hallelujah! Your best memories are those that are timeless, that seem to live on in your mind and in your heart forever. They seem so crystal clear and so crisp. That’s because the joy that surrounds those moments is of the Lord.

Scripture tells us that joy is a fruit of the Spirit, and the Spirit is eternal. So when you experience His joy, it is eternal. It becomes timeless. Joy-filled moments down here on Earth are like sneak previews to whet your appetite for Heaven. I think that’s God’s way of getting your heart, every once in a while, a little closer to Heaven and out of the mess of earth and onto the solid, real ground of Heaven.

Today, rest assured there won’t be any violence or death in Heaven. We won’t have to worry about nation against nation, or if a bomb is going to be dropped in Heaven. We don’t have to worry about the atmosphere or pandemics killing us, because our bodies are going to be glorified, and we’re going to be eternally happy. We’re going to smile. We won’t have any more tears. I’m so looking forward to being with my family members and my friends in Heaven. Will you be there?

“You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand” (Psalm 16:11).

Let’s Pray
Yahweh, thank You for the joy of Heaven, so that my joy will be full as I live in Your presence now and forever. Father, I’m so glad that the pain and emptiness of this world will not exist in Heaven and I will be totally free, hallelujah! Thank You! In Christ’s Name, Amen.
