I Corinthians 13:12 (NLT)
“Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror,
but then we shall see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and
incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me
completely.”
Life is filled with so many questions and puzzling
situations. From the time we are born,
we are asking questions. This is how we
learn. We ask, we receive an answer,
then we are more knowledgeable than before, however, the older we grow, the
more questions that go unanswered. Now,
we can come up with many alternative answers to ease our questioning minds, but
we have to admit, many of those don’t settle the uneasiness of our hearts, in
that, we know the answer is still beyond our reach.
Many of us have said on more than one occasion, “One day I’m
going to sit down with Jesus and ask Him all of my questions.” I personally believe that when we arrive in
heaven, we won’t need to ask any questions, we will suddenly know the
answers. I John 3:2 (ESV) “Beloved, we
are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know
that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he
is.” We will have a perfect body and a
perfect mind. We will be like him!
Knowing these things helps me deal with life’s
questions. I know that one day, all my
questions will have answers and all the puzzling dilemmas of this life will be
over. I can rest as a child, trusting
that my Father God will take care of me, knowing that even in death, life is
not over; I will be embarking on a new beginning that will have no end.
