"Who Is in Heaven"

Continuation from the Lord's prayer.My Father who is in Heaven..Heaven.????

Heaven..I have been thinking about the end and what happens after death since the news of my husbands best friend got word that he has small cell cancer in the lung.Prognosis is poor..Lon says he is not afraid to die just doesn't want the pain..yet he says he is scared in the next breath.

Jesus said prior to his ascension that he left this earth to go and make a place for us. Heaven..making us our own abode there. For all believers in Jesus is the teaching..all
others if they deny Christ is hell.

Growing up I feared going to hell --to spend eternity there..whatever that was. It wasn't someplace I thought seemed like a fun place. And honestly heaven seemed like a scary place also..and I guess now that i am older it wasn't really heaven I was afraid of but dying ..death ..the unknown. I since have watched numerous people die and take there last breath and there is such a beauty in dying...alot of the fear or issue is on the so-called missing out on life here.

Alot of people share mixed beliefs on death..If someone dies young we mourn if they are older it is OK as they have lived a long life. If people have numerous tragedies of people dying it is like "how can they still live?" "how do they do it?" God is the giver of life and He has numbered our days. Yet we all blame God as to the Whys..if He is such a good God why does He allow such bad things..but is dying so bad if we look at it from a heavenly and eternity stand point..??Those who go first seem to be the lucky ones!! I guess it is just hard to accept that death happens and not when we want it to...and not to those we wish should have gone instead of...it is something we will all have to face. But if we are in Christ it is like we will just go to sleep.

Do you believe in heaven? As my walk with God grows and I am able to see more and more His love for me ...it only seems that there has to be a heaven and the place has got to be AWESOME..Do I believe in hell?? Oh yeah.but I do not believe that God is happy on sending people there who don't believe..My opinion is that God sees the heart and He will do alot to prevent it from occurring--as only any good Father would do..but than again He is just..I guess the judgement is His and He alone is God so He alone knows what will happen . I just want my relationship with Him to be secure and it is...as I keep my eyes on Him.
