"However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"—" 1 Corinthians 2:9
Isn't it?! We cannot conceive in our minds what wonderful things God has prepared for us. That's just incredibly exciting to me- that we will get to experience something completely new and different from God- and you know it's going to be awesome, whatever it is. We have never even imagined such a place while here on earth. Even the most exotic fantasy novel won't be able to compare what God has waiting for us in heaven.
I imagine that in this regard, God is kind of like a parent on Christmas morning. You spend time and money tracking down and wrapping up the ideal gifts and you can't wait to show them to your kids. I suspect God is like that up in heaven. He is excited himself and can't wait to reveal what he has for us- but he also knows not to reveal it before its time. He doesn't want to spoil the excitment or the wonder of that wonderful day when it is shown to us.
It's like that song "I Can Only Imagine..." only I don't think we really can imagine, can we?
