As awesome as life in Eden must have been like, our life in him will ultimately be far better.

Life will continue on the other side of the veil.

A person who hasn't grieved a significant loss has unfinished business inside and can cause others great grief as a result.

Why Won't We Be Bored in Heaven? Because we are with God, and God is infinite. We never come to the end of exploring Him. He is new every day. Because we are with God, and God is eternal. Time does not pass (a condition for boredom); it just is. All time is present in eternity, as all the events of the plot are present in an author's mind. There is no waiting. Because we are with God, and God is love. Even on earth, the only people who are never bored are lovers.

The Bible assures us that a morning will dawn bright and glorious someday. All the sorrow and sadness and difficulty we've known in the darkened skies of life will vanish. The Lord will return for us at the daybreak of eternity, and there will be no more weeping, no more pain or suffering, no more broken hearts. There will be no more valleys plunging away from the peaks. He will dry every tear, and there will be joy in that great morning.

Our conduct today is affected by what we know of tomorrow. The book of Revelation tells us of God's plan for the future and assures us that we are on the winning side. It often appears that the enemy is winning, but Revelation puts everything into perspective.

Beyond the smiling and the weeping, I shall be soon; Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, I shall be soon! Love, rest, and home Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come!

I want a pain that has a beginning and an end, not one that goes on forever and cuts all the way to the bone.

Our love for people doesn't end when they pass away. More often our feelings deepen as we realize how much they mean to us and how dearly we miss them.

Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.

Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.

For the Christian, death is not the end of adventure but a doorway from a wold where dreams and adventures shrink, to a world where dreams and adventures forever expand.
