Life
can be a vacation if we rest in the Lord.
John
14:27; 2 Cor 12:1
I'm
thinking of a time and place where everything was as it should
be. It's sometimes impossible to put into words our own
experiences. Language has its' limitations. We live in a
physical world dominated by our bodily senses. Our language
reflects this. But we are also spiritual beings, and there is a
world which exists beyond the realm of our five physical senses. Our
language is limited in its' capacity to describe this world. So
in describing spiritual or non-physical experiences, we are hampered
in communicating these experiences to others by the written or spoken
word.
Nonetheless, I will attempt to describe
to you my own experience as best I can. As I said, I am thinking
of one particular moment in time when everything was as it should
be. By this I mean, as best as I can describe it, that I was in
Heaven on earth. Heaven is what we, as creatures made in the
image of a living God, were made for. Heaven is the only state
of existence which man originally was created to know and
enjoy. Heaven was designed as man's natural habitat.
God must have felt lonely. God made us so he could fellowship
with us. He made us to have someone to talk to, someone to
share his feelings, his thoughts, and his whole life with. But
the fellowship God desired was not based solely on communication or
speech. Our Creator's means of revealing himself to us is found
in everything he created. He created a universe filled with
sights, sounds, sensations, and infinite facets of beauty. He
gave to us a tangible expression of his love as the backdrop to
forming a relationship with us.
