In heaven we will live as God’s children seeing all of God’s creation as if for the first time. St. Paul quoted the Prophet Isiah in describing this newness of heaven:
“What eye has not seen,
and ear has not heard,
and what has not entered the human heart,
what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9 and Isaiah 64:3)
We don’t have to go to heaven; however, to begin seeing each moment as a child, with new eyes and a fresh perspective. We just need to grow closer in our relationship with God, the creator that makes all things new.
