There are very few verses
that would really describe heaven. I think this is because God wanted it to be
a mistery and to live us by faith. So, I believe you can be slightly dissapointed
by reading these extracts. But remember, it is more about atmosphere in heaven
(love, joy, peace and etc.) rather than how it looks. God bless you.
