Ephesians 3
14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
 
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Luke 18
28Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!"
29"I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life."

Dear Sorin.

There is nothing offensive about your post  :). I often struggle with many things in the Scriptures, especially what's to come after God is all in all. These are all natural feelings and can be expected as we grow and are stretched in our walk with God. On a few occasions I get excited and impatient ;D. On the other hand I often feel similar to how you do.

At times I have to ease off with the amount of knowledge I'm taking in, and just rest in the basics.
God is not far from you Sorin. Hang in there my friend, valleys are part of our training, and we are all here for you.

Kat, your post was edifying for me, I like what you said : "And we can not yet see beyond this world clearly." That helps me a lot. Thanks to you and M.G for those great verses.

Love to you all.
Andrevan.

Hi Sorin,
I think we all have felt or feel like this at times. We try to imagine what Heaven will be like and we can only compare to the times we have felt happiness on earth. But for my self, looking back the things that used to make me happy, they where of the flesh, new home, new job, new car.......and only fleetingly. God says flesh and bone will not inherit the kingdom of heaven but that heaven is peace and happiness in the HS. So, i have to say at this time of my life i am more peaceful than i have ever been (even tho times have got harder). I remember joyful times and think this is nothing compared to the peace and joy in heaven. We will be differant, we will be spiritual, no need for fleshy things (we wont want them). It is extremely hard at times, but by being in His word, prayer and fellowshipping in here :), i am finding that He is in control, not me and the weight has just lifted off of my shoulders. His yoke is light.
God Bless you Sorin, rest in Him and He will give you His peace

Sorin,

I know EXACTLY how you feel, I have been there. Way back (35 years ago) as a 17 year old new covert (7th Day Adventist) I was aghast when my "mentor" explained how we would become like angels and not marry. Wow, talk about the rug being pulled from under your feet. I pretty much flipped, I got so animated in consternation that "Richard" could only laugh. He was in his late 30's and had been married for 18 years, he tried to explain that God had many things in store for us that we could not even imagine and that in faith we need to accept the fact that the Creator knows His creation better than we understand ourselves. It did not give me much comfort nor did it dampen my desires.

What does He have in store for us in the New Kingdom? What better things has He planned for us that we cannot even imagine? Can we contemplate heavenly things clearly in this (carnal) state, as we look through a darkened glass?
I do not have the answers for you Brother other than pray for faith and wisdom as you read and study His Word and the articles on Bible truths.

His Peace to you,

Joe
