What’s it all about?

So…I am just thinking that it is impossible for us to NOT think too small. His ways are not our ways….so I have heard, and in fact, His ways and HIs thoughts are higher than ours. It doesn’t say we can catch up, it just says his ways ARE HIGHER. I keep trying to think bigger though.
So far the progression has gone like this.
1. Jesus saved us for more than heaven, He saved us for NOW!
so then I thought…
2. Our salvation did more than open the door to a future destination, it changed something fundamental in us; we can overcome obstacles.
then I started to realize…
3. What if overcoming obstacles is not the point, what if the obstacles simply stand in the way of the REAL point (at least at this stage of the progression) which is that Jesus set us free to become ourselves, our created design.
so if that’s true then…
4. What if becoming who we are created to be restores us to fulfill our created destiny: to take dominion over creation and restore God’s Image to the earth.
and if we do that…
5. What if restoring God’s Image to the Earth, as we learn to fulfill our design, is so that we can join God in what He is up to? Not just now…Out there in the Cosmos, and in Eternity. What’s He up to?
if we ever figured that out then…
6. What if God is leading a whole Hierarchy of created beings…Angels, humans, and seraphim (whatever those are…) etc. . What is He leading them TO DO? Once Earth’s History ends, isn’t He still up to something? Doing stuff? Actually accomplishing further exploits? What could they be. Humans are so earthnowcentric.
My head is spinning.

Is it so much fun! right? One day we had some “higher” thinking, the other day we have to start to pursue all over again. It’s just to grow to a higher understanding of Daddy. Keep asking Him questions is not very funny to me. But, when we set a time “alone” with Him and not rely in our busyness…God loves that. He always want to be our number one. Our Hero. Our Lover. Our Brain. As Grace said in one of the post… He is the “good enough”. We just got to be those childs around Dad searching and finding and growing and enjoying. When He want as to GROW….oh oh then the fun Begins……welcome aboard!!!!!
I just read yesterday from Mr Lindsay (CFNI)a line in one of His articles from 2008 thru the web. It says that “Creation is Disposable”. Now I understand, He is always up to something.
