"When We Are In Heaven"
This is somewhat related to the question, "What is the one question you want to ask Jesus when you get to heaven."
For the life fo me, I can't honestly think of anything right now.
In
the past, I have said I want to know what REALLY happened to Elvis;
What REALLY happened to JFK;and various other "Conspiracy Theory" type
questions. Now, these things just are not that important to me. Oh,
don't get me wrong, I do want to know, but I guess I figure that I have
all of eternity to find out the answers to all of the questions I've
wondered about.
Paul, I read your answer, saying that you
wanted to ask what the one purpose of your life was. I honestly believe
God has shown me the purpose for my life. Oh, I am sure I have missed
many things along the way, but I do believe that I have found, and am
fulfilling the purpose of my life. (Ultimately, I believe we are ALL
made for one purpose- to worship God. I believe we are just all called
to seperate parts of worship. I beleive that is our strengths, versus
our weaknesses, which we were not necessarily called for, as in a
purpose, but our weaknesses are also to teach us and show us things-
mainly that we are still completely dependent on God alone.)
Patty, I read your letter, and your letter is the one that pretty much brought this question on.
Since
I cannot honestly think of something that I would ask Jesus, because I
know I will be spending a lot of time worshipping at His feet. I love
the verse that my email log-on name is from- EveryKneeWillBow-
Philippians :9-11. Yes, one day EVERY knee will bow, and EVERY tongue
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings. For me, I
ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT to bow at His feet. I picture it for me being
more like being completely on my hands and knees, unlike some, who just
the sheer power of Jesus forces them to their knees in total surrender.
They don't have a choice. For me, it is PURELY by choice. Yes, it is
complete surrender, but it will be such a joy. For so many it will not
be a joy to bow to Him.
I love the thought of casting my thrones at His feet, just worshipping and praising Him.
One
of the first things I want to do after my initial time with Jesus (I
realize time is not going to be important there, but outside of my
earthly understanding, I do not know how else to refer to it...)- I
want to have a picnic lunch with Bathsheba. She has become one of my
heroes from the Bible. For years I misunderstood her as being more like
Jezeel. It wasn't until I began to study and understand her that I
realize I am a lot like her. She made many bad choices in her life, but
in the end, she gave it all to God. She allowed God to take her bad
experiences and use it for His glory. I can't wait to spend time with
her, talking about her life, her choices, and all that this entails.
I
also can't wait to just be with the wild animals. I love the image of
the lion laying down with the lamb. I can't wait to tustle about in the
midst of this, snuggling with them. Riding about heaven on an elephant,
or on a giraffe. Oh, I know... I don't really know what heaven is going
to be like. But my imagination can run for days, weeks, months and
years................ just to be free of the trials of this world, and
to be with my King. Ahhhhhhhh yes, heaven indeed!
