do you ever wish that in the end you were wrong and there was NO place like heaven and God doesn't exist, or are you ok with your belief ?

I never think I am wrong. Any true christian doesn't think that way. Being saved is believing in Jesus's promise that if we trust and believe in him we will live in paradise forever with him. I can't wait.

If there were no God, no heaven, there would be no hope. There would be no purpose and no real reason for any individual to help another, to obey the law, to cooperate with society in any way. It really would be a Hobbsian world with life that is nasty, brutish, and short.
I can't imagine that there is no one that doesn't question their own beliefs once and a while. To believe anything blindly is folly. But once the leap of faith is made and you live a life of following Jesus, you begin to see things that confirm your belief. You see how people's lives are turned around for the better. You see actual miracles. You grow in understanding and your own prayers begin to be answered. The only time I have ever wished that there was no God was early in my faith when I wanted to do something that was clearly immoral(but fun in a worldly way) and didn't want to deal with the consequences. And that's the whole point. To live a life that has a higher standard than anything a human could imagine. To seek the Divine and be pulled from the mirey clay. Life is infinitely better as a Christian. I've been on both sides and can say this with authority.

even if a Christian doubted their faith occasionally, i cant imagine they would wish they were wrong. Why would one want there not to be a heaven. Sure, most of us at times have doubts, but that is not the end. Our faith is in the never failing faith of our savior, Jesus Christ.. Our ultimate salvation does not rest on our flimsy faith, but on the faith of Jesus Christ

I know that God is very real. We may not have all the details right, but I am very certain of God.
