Room for faith

I've been reading The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. My friend the actress recommended it to me. I'm so glad she did! It's a really great little book. Grandiose and mind-expanding ideas in a short and easy to read book. Faith expanding, I should say. The book is about a field trip to Heaven. Mr. Lewis says he is writing about a dream he had. It is really subjective, but there is little that can be said of Heaven that is not subjective. After all, " . . . no eye has seen, no ear has heard" just what treasures beyond description await God's children in Heaven. We can know some things about God, and what He does, and where He lives. The rest, all the things we cannot know, are more reasons to worship Him. The fact that He is too great to be fully known is in itself a reason to bow before Him in absolute humility and praise. I praise God for the things I know about Him (that He is good, kind, just, loving, powerful, wrathful, merciful), and I praise Him for being beyond human understanding.

Heaven by Randy Alcorn is supposed to be REALLY good. I read the "cheater" (short version) and it really got me thinking. He has some fascinating things to say. I've been enjoying thinking on the reality of heaven...it's a good thing to do, I think. :)
