What God Has Prepared

Good Morning,

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)

However, as it is written:

"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"

Now, I must admit that my mind is totally overwhelmed by this verse of Scripture. Even having read so many verses in the Bible about heaven and what heaven will be like and all that awaits us there, I then read this verse and realize that I have absolutely no idea at all what God has prepared for us who have chosen to love Him and have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.

I'm not even going to attempt any kind of explanation about what God has prepared for us. That, I think, would be ludicrous...and I know that whatever I could come up with would pale so very badly against not only what men have already written about our home, but also completely inadequate as compared to what would be true.

I don't think that our human minds and our human understanding could possibly take in the wonder, beauty, and magnificence of our heavenly home with God. I believe it's impossible for us to even start to comprehend what our loving Father has created for His children. We may understand complicated and marvelous things about this earth that we now inhabit, but our true home? No, there is simply no way that we could possibly get our minds around what is to be for us.

However, there's one thing that I DO know about heaven...and I think it's the most marvelous thing about heaven. That would be the fact that we will spend eternity in the presence of God.

My friends, that, in and of itself, should be enough to make all of humanity want what we have. Why it doesn't, well, that's a true mystery, isn't it?

I'm just overjoyed that we have our place in the presence of God already in place and that He awaits our arrival with Him.

Thank you Lord! Hallelujah! Glory to God!


Love, peace, and blessings,

David
