I think Heaven must be, in part, a place of absence. Absence of evil, hatred and contempt, of course. But also absence of criticism and judgement of one another. No one ridiculing your ideas, opinions, shape, clothes, size, work, color, religion or creativity. Absence of egotism and self-centeredness.Instead of being "all about me," it will be only about us. Talk about feeling like part of a team or community! We'll be part of a genuine, living breathing "oneness." Imagine everyone cheering your every effort. We will only be our collective best when we're working together, being our best individual selves--only we'll lose sight of being individuals because we're so completely filled with joy when the other guy is in his zone. No more being self-conscious. No more worrying about being the first or the best. No presidents. No CEOs. No Board of Directors. Just one King--with no replacements or wanna-bes. No one will ever feel like they are alone or that no one loves them. No one will ever feel like they are a loser or a "square peg," because they don't fit into society's round rules of engagement. We won't have to wonder. We won't have to ask. We'll just feel ... integral. All the time.
Instead of that thing we did when we were kids ..."Daddy, watch me. Daddy, watch me NOW! Daddy, watch me when I do THIS. Daddy, watch me when I add a twist and do THIS!" ... We'll just see Him smile and say, "I will never take my eyes off of you." And so we'll feel completely and utterly loved. Eternally.
