I've mentioned in an earlier post that I'm reading Randy Alcorn's "Heaven" for the third time (the first time was about four years ago after a Christian friend and former Bible study member Alexandra Armstrong gifted it to me)
One of my favorite - if not THE favorite - lines in the book is: "He (God) fashions us to want exactly what he will give us, so what he gives us will be exactly what we want."
Think about that sentence a little bit. It's an amazing insight, one I fully embrace as being probable.
Often, I don't even know what I want. Even more often, I tend to want things that God knows I don't need.
To eventually get to heaven and to finally know what I want, but then to have it given to me from God will be indescribable. He has always provided me with what I need, even though I've never deserved it. But through Christ's death, I will be saved and my every want will be exactly what God gives me.
Awesome.
