but guides and cheers them on from one state of glory to another higher. 

It is supposed that in heaven God may grant instant and direct knowledge to the soul–especially to that soul which died within infancy at no fault of its own.  Perhaps countless aborted children of God will be spotlighted under a beam of grace so

awesome that they will shine–just shine beyond the horizon of this dark and selfish world.

 

The blessed are said to sit at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  In other words, relationships will continue in heaven, and new ones will be made.

And how great will the love be between the Saints in glory?  A clue comes from the lips of our Lord as he answered a trick question.  He was asked about a woman who had lost several husbands through death, who would then be her real husband in heaven.

No my friends, nothing shall be lost of what is special in our sanctified relationships on earth, but increase upon increase will be our portion with our saved beloveds in heaven.
