We Shall Be Joyful to See His Countenance, December 17

Thou hast made known to Me the ways of life; Thou shalt make Me full of joy with Thy countenance. Acts 2:28. Heaven, ... witness the high, the holy state of perfection that ever abides there—every soul filled with love; every countenance beaming with joy; enchanting music in melodious strains rising in honor of God and the Lamb; and ceaseless streams of light flowing upon the saints from the face of Him who sitteth upon the throne, and from the Lamb; ... realize that there is higher and greater joy yet to experience, for the more they receive of the enjoyment of God, the more is their capacity increased to rise higher in eternal enjoyment, and thus continue to receive new and greater supplies from the ceaseless sources of glory and bliss inexpressible.—Testimonies for the Church 2:226, 227. Heaven is a good place. I long to be there, and behold my lovely Jesus.—Early Writings, 39. “Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face.” 1 Corinthians 13:12. “The throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him; and they shall see His face. Revelation 22:3, 4.
