I have been to its outer edge, although briefly.<br /><br />I love how you see the garden-to-the-city story of God. He created this place with the full intention of moving in. He created each of us for the same reason. We are his <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/holyhugs/dream-house" rel="nofollow">dream houses</a>, his holy dwelling places, his living tabernacles, the temples of his holy spirit. <br /><br />I look at my fellow Christians sitting on the curb watching the parade and urge them to come into the street with us -- to join the parade. For the joy of being a Christian is not waiting for heaven to come, it is working hand-in-hand with our Creator to redeem little corners of Creation near us -- to have His will be done through us (as it is in heaven). <br /><br />My view of heaven is that it is all around us -- it's just too thinly spread out for us to see. It is our job, and joy, to thicken it up for all to see and to glorify God, not ourselves, in the process.Jim Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818040057197201102noreply@blogger.com
