Overhearing God

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" 10but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

You ever overhear a conversation that you were never supposed to hear but it left you breathless, whether good or bad. The feelings that come after something like that happens are amazing. I remembering overhearing a conversation between a friend of mine and another friend, honestly I was not trying to eavesdrop I was just in a situation where there was no way out and I could not plug my ears and start yelling, lalalalalalalalalala, hey it was one of those situations. Well what I heard brought both humility and thankfulness all in one unforgettable moment. I wonder what it would be like if we could overhear the conversations God has with His Son about us. Would I be like wow, or would I be ashamed? I would imagine no matter what was said it would be seasoned with grace and mercy and "I would be overwhelmed by the extent of His affection" to quote Lisa Harper. According to this verse we have not even begun to understand, see or even hear what God has in store for us. Wow when I consider all that I have been blessed with already. I can't help but just be floored in awe of how great our God truly is, was and always will be.

Father today help me to see what I can see in order to draw me closer to you.
