I couldn't agree more!
Also, I love the verse you quoted, it gives me a great deal of hope.
When I hear of heaven, I think of Revelation 4 and 5. It's enough to bring me to tears. It may not be "heaven", but in describing New Jerusalem I love what Ch 21 says:
Revelation 21:4
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:23
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
How awesome is that!
