A Conversation with God about Heaven

Man: What do I have to do to get into Heaven?
God: Why do you want that? 
Man: Isn’t it supposed to be the perfect place?  
God: Yes and no.  It is perfect, but the place itself really isn’t that important.  
Man: What is, then?  
God: Me.  The whole point of the Christian afterlife is to be with Me.  
Man: So, why can’t everyone go to Heaven if being with you is so good?  
God: They could, but they wouldn’t enjoy it.  
Man: Why not? 
God: They’re not ready for it.  
Man: How’s that?  
God: You remember that I made everyone perfect, right?  
Man: Right.  
God: Well, they don’t look like that anymore.  They need to be fixed before they can enjoy being with Me.  
Man: Fixed how? 
God: The first part is that you’re broken as a human.  
Man: What does that mean? 
God: It means that I made you perfect and complete, but since you turned away from Me, you’ve become a shadow of your former self.  You need to be fixed.  
Man: What’s the other part? 
God: Your relationship with Me is broken. 
Man: How so?
God: You’re married, right?
Man: Yes. 
God: Have you ever done something you shouldn’t have that upset your wife?  
Man: Of course.  
God: Well, kind of like that, until things get fixed between you and Me, the relationship isn’t right. 
Man: So, what do I have to do to fix it? 
God: Nothing.  You have to let Me fix things. 
Man: So why don’t you just fix everyone? 
God: They won’t let Me.
