Christian Counseling - A Slice of Heaven

All physical and emotion pain will finally come to an end when God creates a new heaven and earth (in the Greek, restores them--Revelation 21). At that time, the tribulation period will be long over, the millennial reign passed, God's universal judgment complete, and time, well, time may no longer exist.

Image no desire or need to look to the past to remember the joy of someone or something. Image a complete absence of longing to remember the "good old days" or reconnect with the past--wedding day, birth of a child, sense of peaceful community or other extraordinary event or relationship. Image having no dreams, thoughts about what could be, reason to plan for the future, or goals to reach, and no need for hope. Image no past and no future, just the moment in which you live--full, complete and perfect, free from all need and desire.

In that place Timeless Jesus is always present. He lights up and warms your heart like he lights up and warms the new earth that no longer needs a sun. He is family, and you are home.

In this utopian eternity, joy overtakes and peace overwhelms. Relationships are wholly meaningful and fulfilling, for all know and accept the essence of who you are, as you fully know and accept them. These relationships are what you searched for and sometimes fought for on earth, when you looked for a soul mate, trusting friends and caring family.

All this is the beginning, without end. It will always be the same new, joyous and pleasurable moment--timeless heaven.
