...and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.“ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“…and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Rom.5.2 ESV
We usually think of hope as something that concerns the future. But hope also gives focused attention to the present. How so? Well, we usually prepare for things, which we anticipate. What is it that we hope for as Christians? I think in light of the New Testament that our hope is centered not so much on where we will be as it is what we will be. We shall be like Him. That being the case, we corporate with the transformation that will make us fit to live there. Not fit in the sense of worthy but fit in the sense of able. Anyone who has been in a peaceful place knows that if your heart is not at peace, nothing around you can manufacture it. God cannot create heaven for hearts, which do not long for it and unable to appreciate it. 3/30/2009 Conversations Within ts
