Heaven

I’ve just had a vaguely profound conversation, and I’m recording it here so that I can’t forget it….

We were discussing God, and how are relationships with him is ever important, and in constant need of work. However, it doesn’t seem to matter how hard you work at it, there is always that feeling of hollowness from time to time. The feeling leads you to forget to pray, or to search for human relationships to fill the gap.

We realised that the hollowness feeling that you notice sometimes, even when you are feeling close to God is due to the fact that while God is physically present with us, he’s not actually physically there to touch directly. So feeling apart form God, and as though you’re missing something important isn’t something that you can do anything about. It’s the gap that will be filled when we (hopefully) make it to Heaven.
