Little glimpses of Heaven

I had the joy of being able to go to the big church night in last weekend with some friends, where Rend Collective and Matt Redman were playing and it was brilliant.  We were able to spend an evening in a church packed with people all just wanting to worship God and sing his praises.  At one point Matt said that this was a glimpse of what Heaven is going to be like and I couldn't agree more.... One big difference - I was in agony that evening, and although I loved it I spent most of the evening trying to keep the tears away and I just couldn't ignore the pain.  That will not be the case in Heaven!

Every single day without fail I see little glimpses of Heaven.  Those things bring me so much joy and the fact that I know I will be experiencing them pain free excites me SO so much.  That added to the fact that these are only glimpses and that in Heaven we will see Jesus face to face - mind officially blown!

Even on the insanely tough days where everything hurts and everything seems to go wrong I can still see many glimpses of Heaven and these are what keep me going.  Whether thats praying with a friend, meeting together at church, reading a bible passage I have read so many times before but realising I have always missed an exciting truth from it or just spending some time with God.  All of it (and SO much more) points us towards Heaven and can keep us keeping on, knowing that our home is there ready and waiting for us.
