God at the Center

---------------------

On earth we tend to think of ourselves. But in Heaven things will be different. We will experience the truth of the catechism, "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever." In Heaven God, not man, will be at the center of everything. And His glory will be dominant.


Have you ever watched young couples in love communicate without words? Have you been in love yourself? People deeply in love find absolute bliss in each other's presence and wish their moments together would go on forever. If those moments could be frozen, with no sense of passing time, would that be "Heaven" for them? Have you ever said, "I wish this moment could last forever?"


I suspect those feelings are a small indication of what it would be like, frozen in time and loving God, enjoying Him, forever. We will never come down from that "mountaintop" experience.
