The Problems of Heaven

While praying I had a startling realization. Supposed at this very minute. I died and went to heaven. The moment that I entered the Pearlie gates paradise would no longer be perfect.

I am sure there are a lot of people there I just don't like. I am sure I will continue to be some form of my old obnoxious self. Now God could change my attitude but then it would not be me in heaven. Perhaps once I am there in the land of answers I will have a greater understanding of man and God and I will immediately understand the true meaning of salvation.

Or maybe in the very short time I have left I better put on the mantle of Christ, live the words of Jesus and fall deeply in love with God.

Maybe those who are there changed before they reach the promise land. Jesus died for my sins but did his death change my perspective of life, my personality, my attitude.
