In heaven I will ski

I can't imagine heaven. My small mind struggles to comprehend anything good that is not in this world, or anything better than this world. So here's my childlike conception of heaven - it will be something like this, but infinitely better.

In heaven I will ski and dance and swim and write amazing poetry and marvel at beauty and teach people (though maybe not, for there each person will have full access to God, seeing him face to face) . I will do all this as praise to my Brother and Lord, with a glad and peaceful heart, together with all my brothers and sisters. God will be my beloved and loving Flatmate, Husband and King. Nothing will be sullied by fear or mistrust or anxiety or pain or crying or death. For they are part of the old order of things, and in heaven all will be made new.


Heaven will be a physical place, better than but not wholly unlike this world (Isaiah 65:17, 66:22; Luke 22:18; John 14:2-3; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 19:9, 21:1-7 & 10-11 & 21-26, 22:1-2). So how about you try to imagine it too. Think of what would make a perfect world for you here - then make it better - then eclipse it all by God's presence (Psalm 16:11, 27:4, 73:25-26; Jude 1:24; Revelation 4:8, 21:3-4 & 23, 22:3-4).
