Can you imagine God's delight when He gets to escort the poor around Heaven?
"If this is the reward I get for suffering so much on earth than let me suffer a thousand lifetimes".
The smiles on their faces - the huge grins that just stay and never fade away. That's what stands out to the Lord the most. Some cry buckets of joy. Some are shocked but happy to see the huge smile on the Lord's face. The twinkle in His eye as He shows them riches beyond Bill Gates wildest dreams, riches more than any sultan or king ever had. And yet -
In heaven they are as common as dirt yet the people's hearts aren't moved by it because their hearts treasure Heaven's true richness - which is the Lord Himself - His very presence is what they desired back on earth. Their hearts are set on Him and He has, at the last, given them the desire of their hearts - HIMSELF.
Still, His handiwork truly astounds, streets of gold but more - stones and gems never seen on earth, entirely new kinds of matter - beauty unheard of, never before experienced. He's saved the best for last!
It's kind of ironic - The rich spend so much time and effort accumulating wealth on earth only to have the poor end up with it all.
Really, the more of our lives we give away here on earth, the more we end up with in Heaven. So giving really is better than receiving!
