According to God’s Word, every person who is saved is a pilgrim and a stranger in this world, 1 Pet. 2:11.
We are headed to our.Heavenly home, John 14:1-3, but, along the way there are many elements of this life that trouble us and hinder our progress.
Evil bullies like death, disease, discouragement, depression, and the devil make our journey difficult.
The things that trouble us here will not be allowed to follow us home.
Some day the journey will be over, and we will be safely at home in our Father’s house — a place of peace, safety and perfection.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
This is Just What Heaven Means to Me

“A country where no twilight shadows deepen; — Unending day when light will never be; — A city where no storm clouds ever gather; — This is just what heaven means to me.
Chorus
“What will it be when we get over yonder, — To join the throng upon the glassy sea? — We'll greet our loved ones and crown Christ forever. — This is just what heaven means to me.
“A place where there is no misunderstanding, — And from all enmity and strife, we're free. — No unkind words which wound the heart are spoken. — This is just what heaven means to me.
“And when at last we see the face of Jesus, — Before whose image other loves all flee. — And when they crown him lord of all I'll be there. — This is just what Heaven means to me.”
