Sometimes I am amazed at all that God teaches me. I don't say that to be arrogant. I really say that because I find out every day how much I don't know. There are things that I should know by now that I am just discovering.
Things like how to pray and really connect with God. Things like what it means to know that God is with me all the time or even more by adding to it that He also knows everything about me. I am living different in light of this reality. And then there is God's power. So great to know that not only does God know me, is there with me, but also that He has the power to change me.
Today I was talking with a guy who just so happened to ask me a great question. He asked me why it would matter in heaven to hang out with God if He already knows everything about us. I thought for a moment and answered with this.
Think of the person that you know the most. Does the fact that you know so much about them deter you from wanting to hang out with them. I doubt it. In fact, it is probably the person we hang out with the most. Add to that the fact that even though God knows all about us, we don't have a very large understanding of Him. Heaven will be full of growing in our understanding of God and that will be like discovering new things about those you are closest to.
What a great question and what a great thought to think about the relationship we are invited to be a part of with God!
