Our citizenship is in Heaven

For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we eagerly await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20

What is Heaven like, Lord? I fear I do not know, I dream of a beautiful, wondrous place where all will see you face to face! I dream of a castle rising high and of cities shining bright and majestic. Awestruck I walk amazed, enjoyment overflowing. I hope for a place beyond my dreams, where angels will someday take me. I’ll meet my Savior Jesus on a golden street, we will embrace He will tenderly call my name, His eyes will captivate my heart, His smile fill me with delight. Then He will lead me by the hand and I will see him, my beautiful son, DJ strong and bold. My soul longs for your arms wrapped around me, my spirit is filled with delight at the thought. Till then I wait, I hope and dream, home, yes home, I know this place; it’s been in my heart all along, beautiful and wondrous, home where I belong.


Beloved, we are God’s children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (1John 3:2)

New Bodies:
(1Corinthians 15:49) And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the Man from Heaven.

1Thessalonians 3:14 For if we believe that that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to by way of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep (died) For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout , with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort each other with these words.

Isn't it great, awesome and wonderfully incomprehensible that we will (our bodies) rise up from the grave when Christ returns, our bodies will be transformed into our perfect bodies and meet and join with our spirit/soul and so we will be complete and perfect! We are not just spirits floating around in Heaven though, the saints that have gone before us are recognizable.

Heaven is real, a real actual place! Praise God we have so much to look forward to!
