Paul had a vision of heaven. What's yours?

My Thoughts of HEAVEN and spending eternity with God

The Lord is my shepherd; I will not be in need. NASB (I lack nothing. NIV). Psalm 23:1

So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them Gen.1:27

He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. Ps.23:3

I am going there to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be. John 14:2b-3

For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, Rom. 6:5

Augustine: Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in Thee.

Blaise Pascal: There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator made known through Jesus Christ.

Paul

For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 2Cor.4:17

In the future, there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Tim. 4:8

Conclusion

Certainly, goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life, and my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord forever. Ps.23:6
