Heh heh…remember how a month ago I said I would get back into blogging? Whoops. Anyways, I had some thoughts during church today that I wanted to get down, so here they are…
I felt a little restrained in worship at first today, but as I released and sank into it, I was a bit overcome by the revelatory thought: “Right now, I am experiencing more fully than at any other time what I was created for. This is the closest experience I can engage in in this life that resembles what heaven will be like.” It was awesome in the sense of what a blessing it was to 1) experience it and 2) have enough awareness to realize it. Yet it was also sobering to realize that I spend such a tiny fraction of my time/energy living like that.
So my goal this week is to pursue hard after God and try to live in that “Heaven here and now” experience more often.
I’ve been axious to see where your thoughts would wander next, and how wonderful to see it’s a greater awareness of your purpose and God’s plan! If we are truly living “in Christ”, we should most certainly experience heaven here on earth! Now if I can follow your lead and also pursue Christ and fully exerience Christ a lot more often than those relatively short times of worship each week! Thanks for the reminder that God is there and He’s anxious for us to pursue him!
