A Life Better Than I Deserve

Thoughts on this morning's worship service
At worship service this morning the congregation was led by the choir in singing "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe. You know, I really like this song. I really do.
Yet it struck me just how inadequate I really am as a human. How limited I am by my own humanity. Sometimes I cannot frame words to articulate what I am thinking. Sometimes I can only partially frame even my thoughts; my finite mind limits me so. Somehow I think my outward response to the Lord in heaven is unknowable and unpredictable.
I don't even think I can imagine heaven this side of eternity. I cannot comprehend it. Nor should I really try. I do know that I will be changed. I know that I will worship Him who is the maker of all. I know that I will begin to understand and know Him who made me in a way I never can now. I long for that day more with each passing year. And I try to set aside more of myself in order to know Him, at least a little, now.
I Corinthians 13 states, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known." This Scripture pretty much sums up my thoughts today.
