When we leave this time of existence and are gathered together in heaven we will be first and foremost children in the presence of the Father. In this place we will no longer seek to learn, or strive for positions. We will have come into purest experiential presence of God and in this place where there is peace and joy beyond compare. Worship will be overflowing from our hearts through our lips in honor of the King standing amongst us.
Ephesians 1 3-10
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
Before time, before man's fall, this was the dream in our Fathers heart. He Chose you and I before anything was made. there are no afterthoughts in His plan you were desired of Him. He Planned ahead of time and creation, that you would be His son through Jesus. He made plans to redeem us from our choices and put in place everthing to bring us back to Him. And to bring it all together under the Lordship of Christ.
When I think of all He has done to redeem every one, I realize the preciousness of His having each of us. I realize the prize paid for me as well as for you. Take a look at the Fathers investent in the ones around you and let it sink in the price He willingly paid for them. the importance they are to Him
Isn't it time we treated others according to the value he placed in them. NO one is worth less than the price He paid. To treat another or yourself as insignificant or worthless is to act as if you know better than God. Look again reconsider the value He placed on them. Fro the least to the greatest in your eyes. They all are equal in His heart and for us to treat them otherwise is missing the mark.
God Bless
