lets ponder

So I have been reading Fresh Wind Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala and here is something I have been trying to let soak in the past few days. think about it. let me know your thoughts, hopefully mine will come soon.

"if we dont want to experience God's closeness here on Earth,
why would we want to go to heaven anyway?
...
if we dont enjoy being in his presence here and now,
then heaven would not be heaven for us."
