The following words were inscribed on a gravestone: "Dont weep for me now, don't weep for me ever; for Im going to do nothing forever and ever." Some people think heaven will be a boring place. Others, after years of exhausting work, look forward to doing nothing in heaven the ultimate retirement!
Its true that in heaven we will rest from earthly labors (Revelation 14:13), but its not a place of inactivity. When John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem with the throne of God and the Lamb, and populated with Gods redeemed people, he stated plainly, "His servants shall serve Him" (22:3).
If we know Christ a Savior, we will be raised up with resurrection power to serve Him in heaven. Never again will we serve Him half-heartedly and sporadically as we often do now. Instead, well serve enthusiastically and continually (7:15). In unimaginable ways, we will be involved creatively with God without the agonies of decline and death (21:4). Well happily spend eternity basking in Gods redeeming love and exploring endless pleasures at His right hand (Psalm 16:11).
Heaven certainly isnt a boring place with nothing to do its a place where well see Christs face and joyfully serve Him forever! Joanie Yoder.
Face to face! O blissful moment!
Face to face to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ, who loves me so. Breck

Jesus is preparing a place for us and preparing us for that place.
