I've just finished reading The Shack...I may have written a post about it a month or so ago. And yes, I said a month or so ago. I'm a real slow reader anyway (unless reading Karen), & with classes & internship & life...I'm even slower.
Anyway...I just read the chapter called "A Festival of Friends." It is a depiction of what life will be like in Heaven. I don't agree with some of it, & much of it doesn't even make sense to me...but still, just the thought is music to my ears. Williams tells of everyone giving off unique displays of color as a showing of emotion. One man just couldn't contain himself when he saw Mack, our main character. Turns out, the man is Mack's estranged father...no surprise there. Imagine the joy we'll feel when we see a loved one in Heaven for the very first time. Who will you look up first? Unbridled, uncontainable, out of this world, rainbows of color kind of joy. Not just because you may not have seen them in a long time...but because you're now seeing them in HEAVEN! "Cool" does not even begin to describe it.
Now imagine seeing Jesus for the first time. My heart almost jumps out of my chest just thinking about it. What songs would you hear - and feel - surrounding you? I think I'd feel nausous...but I'm absolutely positive that there is no throwing up in Heaven, so I'm ok with that.
