Day 13 A Heavenly Home

(John 14:1-4; Revelation 21:1-4)

Have you ever wondered... What happens after you die? What heaven is like?

Many people believe in heaven, but what is it really like? Is it somewhere up in the sky? What will eternity feel like? Actually, heaven is far greater than we can imagine. The Bible doesn't tell us exactly what heaven will be like, but today's reading gives us an idea. Heaven is a place where there is no more pain, a place where you'll never be lonely and you'll never grow old. Heaven is like nothing that we've ever seen or experienced. But best of all, heaven is where Jesus lives, and we'll be there with him. He is waiting for the perfect time for us all to be there together.
Before Jesus returned to heaven, he promised that he was going to prepare a place for us--in one of his Father's mansions! As a believer, your name is in the Book of Life. Your place will be worshiping God, and you will never grow tired of it. Heaven is a sigh of relief, a warm hug of welcome, the end of the journey...home.
We know that our body--the tent we live in here on earth--will be destroyed. But when that happens, God will have a house for us. It will not be a house made by human hands; instead, it will be a home in heaven that will last forever. But now we groan in this tent. We want God to give us our heavenly home (2 Corinthians 5:1-2)
