When I was around 13 (before becoming jaded and cynical) I met a girl (a woman by my reckoning she was around 18) to me was so beautiful she was frightening. Thing was she knew it too, so she walked with an air of confidence that added on to the intimidation, and when she said your name….PHEW planets changed their course! Something reminded me about that experience of meeting her and being so awed at the same time. Remembering my experience with this beautiful woman reminded me that in many ways while we may all wish to have a personal experience with the divine and see heaven or have God directly speak to us, we must not that desire undermine our understanding of the perfection of Creator and our own imperfection. Similarly remembering how I felt fortunate to have someone I was awed by talk to me and engage in a few minutes of conversation how much more I must savour brotherhood with Jesus who in glorification shall make all knees to bow and tongues confess. - Funny the things you think about at 5:30am
