Don't tell anyone: But I've thought that. Maybe you have too.
My visions of heaven don't have the stereotypical pink, puffy clouds, and harps, but they are mostly...blank and a little blasé. Like a child convinced that going on vacation to Yellowstone will be boring. But the child needn't worry because they know their parents and can trust them. Similarly, we needn't worry because we know God: 1. He is the Creator -- without Him nothing was made that was made (John 1:1). Are you bored with the creation you can see now? No? Well, you won't be in heaven either. 2. God is our Father and He desires to give us good things (Matthew 7:11) beyond what we can think or imagine. But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” -- 1 Corinthians 2:9 3. Christ came to gives us abundant life (John 10:10). And since He is eternal, life is not confined to the here and now. If we are trusting God for earthly satisfaction, trusting Him for heavenly satisfaction naturally follows. But if we are not really trusting God for temporal joy, trusting Him for eternal joy is next to impossible. Comments are closed.
