A Day Of Perfection

Have you ever stopped and thought about what Heaven might be like?  Have you thought about what it will look like, or maybe what it will sound like?  I would like most of all to know what it feels like.

In the book of Revelation, the Apostle John writes about some of the things he sees in his vision of what Heaven looked like.  It is so hard to imagine what Heaven must look like or what it might sound like.  I can imagine streets paved of gold and of how everything will shine and sparkle.  I try to imagine the sound of the angels singing praises to the Lord and the urge to join in.  To hear the trumpet sound and our Lord appear.  But most of all I want to know how it feels.

Have you ever had a perfect day?  A day where everything goes just like you planned?  When you have had time to get everything done that you wanted to do, a day when everything smells or tastes so much sweeter.  A day when the sky is bluer than normal and the clouds are whiter and fluffier than usual.  When the sun is just the right degree of warmth and the breeze is soft and refreshing.  When the flowers are brighter and the grass is much greener, and maybe the birds song is a little more beautiful than most days.

Days like these are few and far between for most of us.  They are days we try to remember as long as we can and days we wish would come more often.  We savor them and wish they would never end.  But they always do and we long for the next perfect day.

Maybe these perfect days are just a taste of what heaven will feel like.  It is hard to imagine a place where every day is perfect and it will never end, endless days without pain, stress, or any problems what so ever.  Days when the flowers are always blooming and the sun is always shinning.  For now, we can continue to enjoy our days of perfection whenever they come and long for the day when we reach heaven and enjoy endless days of perfection.

Heaven will certainly be a wonderful place to spend eternity, but unfortunately not all will spend there eternity there.  In Matthew 7:21-23 Christ says, “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?  And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness!”
