I have a personal problem. Actually, I have quite a few personal
problems, but this particular one I have had all my life. When I was a child,
my favorite question, to ask was why. I simply had to know why, that things
were like they were. I got the answer that it is, because I say so. Other times
the answer was, because it just is. It was really rare that someone explained
the true answer to me. I believe the problem, which I was having as a child,
was simply, that I was asking the wrong person.
My Mother was the bearer of my burden most times. I didn’t have a
daddy on deck, so she was my only solution for information. The honest truth is
that Mother was not that well educated, and my questions may have been a source
of embarrassment to her. I remember that there were things, which she would
explain in detail, and other times, I would receive a quick brush off.
Now getting back, to the issue at hand. I am simply thinking out
loud at this point, because if we don’t know something, then we simply don’t
know. However, if I take my childhood scenario, and reverse it, that might be
the solution, that I am looking to find. If that has any truth to it, then the
reason that we don’t know more, or have been told more is simple. We are not
capable of understanding.
I don’t really believe that it would have been worth the trouble,
for Jesus to explain any more than He did. He gave us the basics, and beyond,
and even still a lot of us have trouble, with what He did tell us. Why don’t we
go on a mind blowing trip, and never leave the chair that we sitting in? Have I got you interest up?
Why don’t we turn over to the book of Ezekiel? Chapter one will be
fine, for me to prove my point. There are only twenty-eight verses in this
chapter. Start reading and let me know how much that you understand. I made it
all the way to the forth verse, then again, I am really not all that either. Do
you understand where I am getting at? If not we can always turn to the book of
Revelation.
I believe that there will be things waiting on us to enjoy in
Heaven that are far beyond our comprehension. If you think about it for a while,
the entertainment industry has really stretched our imaginations, to the max. I
am always seeing something, which makes me scratch my head in wonderment. Then
again, they are not my God either!!
If you think for a minute, I am sure that most of us know how to
create a mini-rainbow, with a water hose. How many of us know how to create
one, with the same magnitude of Father?
Do we really understand the way that He paints the sky new every day?
How about the miracle of birth? How do you take two creatures made from dirt,
and produce another one? What is really up with dirt? That had to be the most
fantastic mud pie creation ever!!
Even though, I might not be able to understand why, at this present
time, I would still like to know. Then again, I do have a full eternity to
figure it out. That is something that I can’t understand either. An eternity
really seems to be a longtime; however I am very grateful, that I am on the
positive side!!
On more thing, that I can’t help but wonder about is the time, which
we get to personally spend with Jesus alone. I am almost sure, that all of us
we get some alone time with our Savior. A chance to talk one, on one, without
any distractions, and a chance to learn, from the Master. I am not sure, about
the number of folks that will be in Heaven. I know that it has to be more than
I could count, or even care to count. I think that Jesus has a plan to spend
time alone with each of us. I can’t say this for sure, but I really hope that
He does!!
Have you ever thought, how totally awesome, that it would be just
to set with Him, under a tree talking. Maybe it would be better down, by the
lake, wetting our hooks together. We are all different people, and Father
placed the differences inside of us. Don’t you think that we will all spend
alone time with Jesus, doing our favorite activities? Why in the world would we
be made so different, if we can’t express our differences?
Thank you for letting me, “Think out loud.” I don’t know what
really awaits me in Heaven, but……Ain’t God good?
…..Much Love
