When I think of Heaven, I like two verses best of all:
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
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.
Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people — born again people!
Jesus wanted His people to know He meant this thing, so He restated His intentions in the last chapter of the last book of the Bible.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
In the sweet by and by.

“We shall sing on that beautiful shore, — The melodious songs of the blest. — And our spirits shall sorrow no more, — Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
“To our bountiful Father above, — We will offer our tribute of praise — For the glorious gift of His love —
