2 Corinthians 4:18 "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
I sincerely believe there is nothing on this earth that can even come close to being a shadow of how incredibly amazing God and His love is. The beauty of creation, the wonder of a loving marriage, the heart swell of joy at a child's laughter, all these will pale and fade to nothing compared to Him. All these things on earth will fade away, but He will not.
Although I believe this, it is impossible to fathom. Words can not describe the joy of companionship. The human tongue fails to express what happiness comes from being with the one you love. The anticipation and excitement that comes from the prospect of finally marrying your one and only is a feeling and an emotion the soul can not contain! Yet I know that it is just a beautiful picture, a pale reflection of what is to come.
But even though I know this, there is nothing inside me that can imagine it to be true. More wonderful than this? More joyful, more content, more satisfied, more elated? How? I cannot understand it!
What a wonderful God we serve. I am so thankful for the temporal things that give us a glimpse of heaven.
