Heaven Quotes
-
Heaven wants to engulf us here and now. It is chasing us, enlivening us, beginning to grow right here in our midst. It’s as though the renewal of all things cannot wait to get started. It is peaking its head in wherever it can.

I don't wonder anymore what I'll tell God when I go to heaven when we sit in the chairs under the tree, outside the city........I'll tell these things to God, and he'll laugh, I think and he'll remind me of the parts I forgot, the parts that were his favorite. We'll sit and remember my story together, and then he'll stand and put his arms around me and say, "well done," and that he liked my story. And my soul won't be thirsty anymore. Finally he'll turn and we'll walk toward the city, a city he will have spoken into existence a city built in a place where once there'd been nothing.
Donald Miller

The glorified will not be pilgrims, transient visitors, or tenants at will, but settled, permanent, walled, established by title, through eternity by warrantee deed, signed, sealed, recorded, possession given. No renters, no lessees of Heaven, but all property and home owners.
Edward McKendree Bounds

We know that Heaven chastens those whom it loves best; being pleased by repeated trials, to make . . . pure spirits more pure.
William Makepeace Thackeray

Book publishing was never a heaven 'run by editors', and it is by no means today a hell 'run by accountants.' If our 'sole interest' was 'instant profit,' not only would we never do any number of the things we actually do every day, we probably wouldn’t be in book publishing at all.
Patrick Nielsen Hayden
