Laurie, in a comment yesterday mentioned both John Piper and Jonathan Edwards and a concept of God knowing and having perfect knowledge of His own glory and a desire to share that with us.
As we were made in His own image as noted in Genesis 1:27, it is clear from the beginning of Scripture that we are to share in that relationship, to know that joy, as God in triune form knows it.
My thought for today is going in a different direction: do some of us reject God because we cannot fully experience the knowledge of that love fully as sinful human beings, and in our pride and arrogance we reject what we cannot fully have?
Are we moving away from the bliss of the perfect fellowship of a divine relationship because we cannot experience it fully, in all it's manifold complexity as finite beings?
Are we that impatient that we would walk away from eternal peace because we cannot experience it in the here and now?
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
