I was on the bus sitting next to an older woman - and the discussion turned to her love of sailing. She told me how she was once very passionate about sailing - and that everytime she sailed - her heart "gasped", as if in awe.
She relayed to me that she never has that sense anymore. Save for one thing:
"When I look around me, at creation, my heart gasps. It's so beautiful."
To imagine that God's artistry in the outdoors may only be a hint at what he has in store for the new earth.
Wow!

What Does God Desire Most II
I thought it would be good to get some responses from others on this question. Here are some of the responses:
"He desires that all would be saved."
"He desires that all would love him and obey Him."
"He desires Himself."
Of all these - and I know that one cannot pressume upon God - I think the last one most resonates with what I read in the bible and within my own soul.
While some may pressume it to be arrogant - this is the one desire that only God could maintain and hold - without it being full-of-oneself. Only God could and should desire Himself - most.
