I was just talking to the Lord about going to heaven. I so wish I could be where He is already. This doctor Eben Alexander had a NDE (Near Death Experience) and his experienced of heaven I knew all along was the way it's going to be...that this world is the one that's a dream that heaven is the one that is a reality because it is the place that is forever...that there is no limit there...no sorrow...no wretchedness...no sin...everything that the Bible states it would be....love...filled with love. And I want to so much to go there.
I was just talking in my heart to the Lord about wishing I was one of the angels up there and all of a sudden a thought came upon me, "You wouldn't know the deeper love you experience now because of what Jesus Christ did for you if you were an angel..."
Being a sinner and being forgiven has it's advantages. We can experience what true love is...we are more preciously loved because of it...because of our sin nature...because we are so in need of God...so wretched and so helpless.
Also, this thought came to me during my meditation tonight, that what I have now, what we all have now, will never be. We will never experience this again...the love of God through Jesus Christ...that Jesus Christ is the ultimate show of the love of God...and that the relationship - that communicating with God through His Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ we will never experience again...that we are very fortunate to be experiencing it. The world to come is eternal and beautiful but it will not have the death and resurrection of Christ. It wouldn't be needed anymore because there is no sin there. Here is where it is precious. Here on this earth is the only place we can really value and receive that love of Christ.
