excerpt from Heaven by Randy Alcorn ;)

"In Heaven, the barriers between redeemed human beings and God will forever be gone. To look into God's eyes will be to see what we've always longed to see: the person who made us for his own good pleasure. Seeing God will be like seeing everything else for the first time. Why? Because not only will we see God, he will be the lens through which we see everything else--people, ourselves, and the events of this life."




Seems to me that this is joy in this life too.... when I am processing things and people and myself as God would (this is sooo imperfect and nearly impossible to do ) that is joy! -- not sure that makes sense or I get it, but that is a foretaste of heaven and seeing God here on earth to me ;)
