What I'll love about heaven

There's a lot I don't understand about heaven (there is a big understatement!). I know heaven will be amazing for lots of reasons - most importantly that we will be fully restored to our relationship with God and find our fulfillment. But the purpose of this post is not to list all the reasons why heaven will be fabulous.

The main reason on my mind currently is that we will no longer be separated from those we love. I don't know exactly how it will be but when we are all in heaven together I expect we won't have that sense of separation or longing. It's long been one of the things I hate most about life (even more than rain) that people come and go in our lives. I get particularly attached to people so if someone is a close friend for a period of time, then moves away, it is very hard to handle. We still remain friends but it's just not the same. I wish I could be with everyone I love all the time, as impractical as that may be!

This can happen when you're living in the same country but for me the feelings are heightened since moving to London and trying to merge two seemingly different lives. I'm sad by what I'm missing at home but now that I've made friends here it's also hard to think about leaving.

My one comfort is that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and we will all be together in heaven.
