The Perfect Mind #3

The infinite, Perfect Mind, is infinitely kind. God is a kind God. His love makes Him kind. In the English language the two words have been combined together to make one of the most beautiful words of all: lovingkindness. Because God is infinite, He will never be able to show us that full extent of His creativity or His kindness. Billions of years will go by and there will still be more of Him that we haven’t seen than what we have seen.

People wonder what in the world we are going to do with all that everlasting time in the life to come. They needn’t worry, God already has a plan in place. Paul tells us what is going to happen in Ephesians 2:7, one of the most staggering statements in all of holy writ. In the “ages to come” God will “show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness to us.”

The Perfect Mind is going to spend the rest of forever finding new ways to be kind to us, to bless us, and to love us. This staggering display of divine benevolence will be so awesome that the current universe will be too small a stage for God to work on. He is going to create a new heavens and a new earth and you and I are going to watch Him do it. And after it is made, as we wander through the newly made earth, marveling at all He has made, keep this in mind, dear brethren. He is getting warmed up.
