We have all heard of the concept of private hells, where everyone suffers their individual torments according to their sins. But what about heaven? Do we get our own special tailored heaven in which we get everything we ever dreamed of, or is it a community heaven where compromises must be made?

I don't think it has really percolated into our finite minds all that G-d has stored up for us in the New Heavens and New Earth, or exactly how we will function there, or to what extent we will know peace, comfort, happiness and pleasure. Suffice to say the snippets that we can garner from Scripture all indicate something glorious, beyond knowing for now, and beyond our wildest hopes and imagination. Above all we will be with the L-rd, and in some way be re-united with those that we love who have died knowing the Saviour, and as one gets older it is a precious and comforting reality to look forward to.

Looking forward to seeing the ones I lost.

OK, thanks. That must be a secular concept.

There's only one Heaven.

We are rewarded according to what we have done.

Jesus!

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. Revelation 22:3-4

In Heaven, I believe that the concept of "self" will be focused upon worship of the Father. That alone will bring perfect satisfaction to our existence.
