pondering.

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." 1st Corinthians 2:9

What does this mean? Think about all the most wonderful things you have ever experienced, now think about all the wonderful things you've dreamed or wished you could experience, now multiply them by a bazillion. Guess what? That's not what God has for us. Even the most wonderful thing you can think of in your mind, the MOST wonderful thing, that's no where near what God has for us in heaven. You know how we think about how wonderful heaven will be, and we imagine all the splendor and awesomeness of it? Well God says that even all those wonderful thoughts we have about heaven, are no where near the real thing. What God has prepared for us in heaven is so beyond our comprehension, we can't even imagine how wonderful it is. That's pretty amazing isn't it? And the more amazing thing is that we are even going there. Think about the worst experience that has ever happened to you. Now think about the worst possible thing that could happen, what scares you the most. Now multiply that times a bazillion. Even that is allot better than what we deserve, but it's not what were getting. Were getting something so amazing that we can't even understand it. The more I think about it, the more unfair it seems. Someone perfect like Jesus would die for someone as sinful as me? It's not fair. In fact, if God did what was fair, I'd never even have the opportunity to have a relationship with him. But I do, he loved me so much that He was willing to give his only kid, his precious son, give him up to die and suffer for me. And I'm the last person that deserves it. It really makes me think about all the stupid things I complain about, things that I dont think are fair. When you stop and think about what you would be getting if it were 'fair' it really deepens your appreciation and awe of what God did for us. :)
