No eye has seen

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

I was just driving down the road today and this scripture popped into my head, so I got to thinking about it...in my head...as you do....where else would I think? I guess I should stop saying that "I had a thought in my head." It only makes me look my hair color. But I digress.

There are some fantastically beautiful places on planet earth right? If you went to Hawaii, you would be in awe. There are islands in the Caribbean that would take your breath away! I hear New Zealand is quite amazing as well. The list goes on and on and yep, you guessed it, on. I'm sure if we could physically be in the most gorgeous place this earth has to offer, we might find ourselves thinking that surely this must be what Heaven is like. But alas, it could not be true. If it were true, than the scripture would say, "go to the most beautiful place on planet earth and yes, that is what God has prepared for you." But it does not say that. In fact, it says that 'no mind can even conceive what God has prepared for us!' Amazing. We can let our imagination run wild, and when it reaches a dead end stop, that won't even come close to the goodness that is prepared for us.

It would be enough for me, to just have my sins forgiven. It would be enough for me, to just walk in victory over flesh, once and for all. It would be enough for me to have every tear wiped from my eye. It would be enough for me to stand around the throne singing "Hosanna in the Highest." That would be enough. I can't fully conceive even those things...but imagine, that God says there is much, much more prepared for those that love Him. And I do love Him. I do.

The grace of God never ceases to amaze me...and I pray more than anything, that it never does.
