When Adam sinned, the Lord our God, creator of all, cursed the ground.
"Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
(Genesis 3:17)
I live in a rural area. Not every place on earth looks like this, I know. But I'm astounded that ANY place looks like this, after the curse.
If God's earth is THIS beautiful after the ground has been cursed, then imagine the beauty of heaven! Look toward the reward- being in God's family, perfected in glory, and seeing the face of Jesus, amid inexpressible sounds and sights of beauty of such scope that we cannot even imagine! (2 Corinthians 12:4)
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— (1 Corinthians 12:9)

I have often thought the same thing. If creation can retain this much breathtaking beauty after 5000-6000 years of degeneration, what must it have been like in the beginning, and what must Heaven be like. Boggles the mind.
