Do you know what I find fascinating about life in Christ? Our souls are permitted to yearn for more than what the flesh is capable of providing....or even knowing. We literally operate from another world.
Jesus' on earth as it is in heaven strategy opens the window for personal experience beyond the confinement of human routine. We are expected to function from greater heights than default living.
No wonder Eph. 3:20-21 is a favorite text. God vows that if we will take our minds to the highest peak of imagination, He will trump it! Imagination roosts in what isn't yet. And whatever we shall dare ponder, God will do it higher, deeper, wider, and farther....in us!
The yearn of the soul is to see life be more than is assumed.
That's why we pray; not for selfish receptivity, but for impossibility to become possible. The soul yearns to see life look like God. We want to see His delivery of the wow-stuff. Each has an appetite for the world of heaven on earth.
My word to you today is to never quit anticipating heaven on earth. I especially warn you to be aware of people in your midst who could be assumed to be just another billionth in number. This is not the case. Each is a rare form of God incarnate.
Notice them. See them. Believe in them when they may not in themselves. Each has a yearning of the soul. We want to see life reversed from wither to unfold. The yearn of the soul says, We are still alive!
