"Pleasing Beyond Words!"

"Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:" (S.O.S. 1:16a)

  If there is one thing that make this journey all the more interesting, it is how much the Lord keeps me always anticipating that there is more to come; no matter how discouraged I might get, it is that sense of one more episode to enter into, or one more chance to share a meal together. There is always more in store for those that wait upon the Lord!
  The word, "pleasant," is such a delightful word; it is the kind of word that might be used to describe your happy place, that place you might go to when you just need comfort and rest, a place where all your cares are swept away. In the case of Paul's description of heaven, this might be such a word that he might have used, if he was asked to use one word that summed it up. But, if it were possible, he might have; instead he just said it was impossible to put into words!
  I know that there are skeptics and doubters that might read this; so there is something to take from this, if you are in the least bit interested. This life will soon pass, as much as it might seem to offer, it is all smoke and mirrors compared to what is up ahead. You have a choice as to how you will live this life: you can either ignore that which might be ahead and feel somewhat good, yet always wondering; or you can embrace what is made available in Christ, feeling great about what lies ahead, and never left wondering if you might be wrong.
  That is what it feels like to be in my happy place; that place where there is no more doubt, because doubt is swallowed up by the love of God! There is nothing that can even come close to it; I can always get lost in His love, as I think upon it, exploring all of many different ways that He shows me how much He loves me. There is just too many ways to count, because there are too many times I have not deserved His love, to count!
  Try that, and see; the Lord is so good! Pleasing beyond words...

"Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory." (Romans 5:1-2) NLT
