Contemplating Heaven

I love contemplating what heaven will be like.... my thoughts this morning focused on my relationship with God. It's those moments when no one else is around, and something profound or profoundly humorous happens or occurs. Many times only God and I share that moment. It goes unexpressed to others, but God's presence is heavily felt, and in the moments of my humor and delight. I sense that He is also delighting.

I hope that when I get to Heaven, and I am surrounded by the unhindered, uninterrupted presence of God... that we will recall moments that only we shared. For this purpose, that I can see God actively delight in them as well. That His delight will become so much more my own.

I think God hopes that for us on earth. That His delight will become so much our own. That the very things He delights in, he hopes we will. Furthermore, I believe God takes part in filling us with joy. Unexpected surprises, moments that we love, things we experience and hope.

That's the beauty of a relationship of love, this sharing of joy and hoping to bring delight to the other person.

(I believe that a personal relationship is possible through God's one and only Son, Jesus the Christ.)
