For, contrary to popular hymnology, love is not the only grace which "abides."
The truth is rather that "these three remain, faith, hope and love" (1 Cor 13:13).
I read the above statement today and it rocked my world.
That even in the life to come these 3 things will remain. I mean it makes sense but think about it.
If hope remains by definition it must have a future expectation and object of anticipation to be hope.
Meaning God is eternal and even in eternity we will be forever finding out new and amazing things about him.
We will never reach the end of Him, our revelation will go on and on and on...
This being so how much more should we be in total awe and revelation of how great our God is in our temporal state.
If heaven and eternity hangs on love how much more does our temporal world our finite earth our defined life hang on love...how much do we need his love now!
It all hangs on this...right now and forever

What an awesome revelation that even in eternity we'll ever be discovering new and awesome things about God. I guess that's why the elders in heaven continually fall down in worship (Rev 4:9-10).
I wish more people would get a hold of God's neverending awesomeness. If only we could help more people realise that He is worth pursuing NOW!
