Describe Heaven

I believe that Heaven is a place where all our souls, long hidden from our sight finally blossom, coming face to face with he who is the truth, the love, the light. No need for memory, the past no more, eternity, the now, our new abode, our life's journey complete, we reach the shore the terminus for all the faithful roads. Our loved ones we shall know although they be in different form, by his divine grace revealed to us, and through our hearts we see the real them, no need for form or face. Cocooned in something we have never known since though alive, unaware in the womb, real peace, real love, no fear we shall be shown a calm sanctuary far beyond the tomb. A new found freedom, joy, life's battle won, a celebration, ecstacy, release, paid for by our Creator's only son who offers all, alive or dead, his peace. 9th September 2018 For contest 'Describe Heaven', sponsor Faraz Ajmal

Wow Viv, an idyllic view of heaven that we all hope to experience. " A new found freedom, joy, life's battle won, a celebration, ecstacy, release," I loved these lines. I am sure to see this one high on the winner's list! : )
