Living In Eden

They spend time playing with the animals as all the wild animals are as tame as our house pets.  They go find the fruit of their choice to eat.  Maybe a peach or a mango.  After eating the fruit they decide to plant the seeds so they go to the edge of the garden to a clearing and plant the seeds.  As they plant, they start slinging dirt at each other and that leads to wrestling with each other.  As they roll on the ground, staring in each other's eyes, their hearts are full of love and so they make love right there and God is pleased with all of this.  

You see that is the life that we were created to live.  Everything else in our lives is there because we have added it.  

So, when any of us looks and see a glimpse of paradise, we see a glimpse of Eden and the longing that we have to be there is a reminder of what we were created for.  

When someone talks about being married to their soulmate, they have a glimpse of Eden and they are experiencing the relationship that we were created to experience.  

When we can understand what life was like in Eden, then we can understand the relationships that causes God to smile now.  We can also start to understand how things will be in the next kingdom.

Those are the thoughts that I have been pondering about these past few months.
