The sermon today was about heaven
I love thinking about heaven
I think heaven is a lot of the reason I have faith
I remember hearing about a grandma's passing
The religious freak family members discuss how she was so lucky in her next life, that death is a blessing
It was how I was taught growing up
It’s so intriguing to me; inventions, creativeness, history in a sense
They all carry this weight
This
Something
of unknown and how immensely fucking cool it is to come up with a concept that people need
that years later are like how did people live without this?
It’s that same analogy
That life would be odd without it
But the creation of it-Is so unfamiliar
People's brains who have these ideas
Just boggle me
Truly
Because my brain always feels so limited in understanding and true knowledge
But then I think about it on God’s scale being the creator of the universe
right
Like can you even try to imagine that power but I’ve felt it so many times I know it’s real
regardless of what anyone could tell me
there’s a quote I lean on and recall
“Not being able to understand God is frustrating, but it’s ridiculous of us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable to comprehend”
Francis Chan
and that’s how I feel about heaven
Most things
It’s incredible, this heaven
and the ideas of it have just enthralled my head all day
Of what could possibly be when time doesn’t exist
When there is only goodness
The Bible says we’re literally able to see god in heaven
Because we are then capable of seeing him because of who we become in heaven
Just trying to think of it’s capacity is so brain powered
Like it’s just absolutely enthralling
and the fact I can’t even think of how great and only my comparison of that greatness
It’s an unknown history
A puzzle dying to be solved
I think of all the people there
And the hope of seeing my mother
Earnestly, because I really do think that’s a lot of the foundation for my faith
It brings me a great scary good feeling when I think of what God is capable of, let alone his and the next place of dwelling
I’ve been thinking of ideas all day just absolutely taken by this concept of the unknown
