Knowing you'll be there

In heaven, Christians will be gathered from different cultures and backgrounds to celebrate our great King. All Christians will praise and worship God. They cried out in a loud voice. Revelation 7:10. The singular use of voice seems to imply a shared language. In Genesis 11 the people sought to build a great tower at Babel. God made them have different languages because they were seeking self-glorification and not looking to glorify Him. In heaven, we will solely glorify God. There may be a universal language that God has everyone know. God could also allow everyone to understand all languages. Heaven will be perfect, so we can expect that we will be able to communicate with all who are there.
​

The overarching impact on our relationship with others in heaven will be our perfect, everlasting union with God our Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. We can seek to have God’s love impact our life on earth and those we interact with. The blessed assurance of heaven awaits us and the joy of fellowshipping with fellow believers. There is a touching poem called, “Knowing you’ll be there,” that describes that Christians will meet again in heaven.

Knowing you’ll be there
​
The other day
I passed the place you always liked to go
And I picked up the phone because
I thought you’d want to know
But I forgot you weren’t there
I miss you on those days
That I’m reminded of your smile
And the funny things you’d say
 
Knowing we can spend a lifetime
Reminiscing on the past
Knowing I will see your face again
Where tender moments last
It makes me want to go there
Knowing I won’t be alone
Knowing you’ll be there
Makes it easy to go home.

​For Christians it is never goodbye when our time on earth is done, but see you later. In heaven, we will be reunited! We will love God with all our heart, soul, and mind! We will also show this love to others in everlasting perfection through love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control!
