“But it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered in to the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
2 Corinthians 2:9
Have you ever tried to think about what is beyond our imagination? It’s kind of an odd feeling. Our imaginations can get pretty carried away. I would suspect that God gets a chuckle out of our thinking we have good imaginations. My guess is we have not even begun to scratch the surface of what is possible.
God wants to pour into the lives of His children so much of Himself, much grace, much mercy, much love, and much blessing. Jesus wants to do that in the context of relationship with us. Have you ever seen a one-sided relationship in which one person loves the other but the other does not love back? It’s very sad. It is stilted and stagnant.
God loves us but if we do not love Him, there is no relationship in which He can express Himself. It isn’t God that changes it is us. When we love God, in a sense, He is free to “love on us” as Stephanie would say. He has things beyond our imagination, things that have not even entered our hearts already prepared to pour out on us, when we love Him.
I saved this until Friday because I didn’t want to begin the week with the impression that we love God because of what we get out of it. We love God because He is worthy of our love and worship. Revelation 4:11, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”
