What will heaven be like?
Will it be the way I want it to be or something entirely different?

Don’t know what you want, but According to Scripture,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,” (1 Cor 2:9)
So it’s likely to be different.
Peace

James,
I’ve read of many private revelations that reveal the nature of Hell but have there been any saints that were shown heaven?
On a side note, a dear friend of mine believes she was given a glimpse of heaven once. I’ll share the story because it’s nothing too theologically dangerous.
But anyway she was walking one day and for a brief second she feels she entered heaven. All she could see was the ‘air’ and she says it was so full of love that it almost seemed pinkish - but really it was a color she can’t begin to describe, she just knew it was the color of love.
It was just a ‘second’ visit but she knew what she saw and it gave her great peace.
Anyway, that’s my story.

Total and complete union with God. Something that our soul has been thirsting for all our lives. A place of total fulfillment and happines because we are at long last completely united with God. A place with no more tears, no more pain, no more suffering.

Revelation 21 and 22 describe the Kingdom of God. They are worth reading, when considering this subject.
Saint Catherine of Sienna saw a vision of Heaven. It ravished her for four hours. When she returned to her body, she was devastated and sobbed with grief. She was filled with remorse at having to leave what she had so delighted in. When asked about the experience, she said, “I have seen the hidden things of God and now I am thrust back into the prison of the body.”

St. Faustina had a vision of heaven, and I believe she said something like “I now understand why St. Paul wrote “No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,” because any human description of heaven doesn’t do it justice.”

To be in the presence of God- pure breath-taking, soul-satisfying, infinitely vast unconditional love.
