If the Word says that God will do things for me, will He make heaven all I want it to be?

Sincerely,
Dreamer

Dear Dreamer,

The Bible doesn’t say that God will make heaven what you want it to be, but it does say that heaven will completely satisfy every soul.  Heaven is a place of comfort for the downtrodden and afflicted (Lk 16:25).  In heaven, every tear will be wiped away, and all pain and mourning will be done away with (Rev 21:4).  Heaven is a place lit by the presence of God (Rev 22:5).  In heaven, we will be given spiritual bodies that are fit for a heavenly existence with Jesus (1 Cor 15:52-53, 1 Jn 3:2).  God has already decided what heaven will be like, but in His wisdom, He has prepared a wonderful place for us (Jhn 14:1-2).
