Tuesday the 22nd

1 Corinthians 2: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him.

 

It is quite easy to become pre occupied with what we do not have. I have talked to some people for whom it is gone to a level of obsessive ness. “I don’t have this, I need that, I want the other thing, and I need it now”. Did you know that you have the one and only thing that you need every morning when you wake up? You carry it with you each day, and it is with you when you lay your head down on your pillow at night. You have the love of God. Each and every one of us has it, and it comes to us undeserved, un requested, and often, unappreciated. Yet He showers us with it daily. I say it is all you need because love will be the only thing that our soul takes when we leave this world. God’s love will be our transport. All of the things you never received, all of the things you never acquired, all of the things that you chased while you lived your earthly life, will mean nothing when you close your eyes for the final time. It will all be nothing more than dust. So if we can’t do much with it after this life, then why focus so much on it now?  Now don’t get me wrong, we all like stuff, but what we have to remember is We have what we need, and in this scripture Paul reminds us what is in store for us. We cannot conceive what God has prepared for us. It is so much, it is so awesome, it is so unbelievable, that we cannot imagine it. Think about that. Think of the happiest you have been, the most content, the most secure….and then multiply that by a million. Hard to imagine huh? That is what God has in store for you….and the best part? It is already yours! With God’s love comes the promise of love, of peace, of contentment, forgiveness, and rest….not just here, but in the life to come. So much more so then that we cannot conceive it! Don’t worry about what you don’t have today, for God has plenty in store for you. Don’t wake up and chase the world. Wake up and chase God. You have His love, you have His grace, His forgiveness, and His peace, what else could you need for this life? You are promised more than you can imagine, why waste time on the temporary, when you are offered the eternal?
