In times of grief, a view of heaven may help. Here are three images of God that illustrate the comfort that awaits the children of God.
The prophet Isaiah’s view of heaven included a vision of God as a kingly figure sitting on a throne, with flowing robes filling the temple and angels surrounding him with praises of his holiness (Isaiah 6:1-3). How amazing it must be to dwell in his presence.
The apostle Mark described the presence of Jesus with children: ”And he took them in his arms and blessed them…” (Mark 10:16). Jesus, as God among us, provided a glimpse of eternal heavenly compassion.
In my own mind, I like to imagine God as a loving father, sitting on his throne, with flowing robes billowing off of his shoulders and filing a heavenly temple. I like to imagine all of his children sitting on his lap (it’s a big lap). Our heavenly father looks down into the eyes of each one of us, in a way that fills our minds with amazement at his love and eternal provision for our souls.
Breaking Through Depression and Anxiety 
I like to picture God like Michelangelo did, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. God, reaching out to me, to give me life and strength and help me in this earthly adventure.
I’ve always thought of God as a man’s voice, rather than a face. He’s a manly presence talking down to me from heaven, enveloping me,with His Wisdom,and Love.
