Picture your best vacation or the best birthday party you’ve ever been to and then multiply that level of fun by a billion! That’s how much better Heaven will be than even your best day ever. The Bible says that Heaven will be a beautiful place full of color, happiness and fun. And, it’s the place where we’ll actually be in the presence of God! It will be a perfect place where there will be no more sadness, pain, disappointment, upset stomachs or broken arms. It’s the place we all want to end up when we die. But, there is a catch and it’s really important to remember. Heaven is reserved for those who have put their faith in Jesus. That means you tell Jesus that you’re sorry for your sins and you put your trust in what Jesus did for you when he died on the cross for your sins. It’s that easy! So if you haven’t done that yet, do it today! Heaven will be awesome and you don’t want to miss out on it!
