Reality 101 #3

Because God is love, His is eventually going to give you everything that He can give to you and do for you everything that He can do for you. There won’t be one … single … thing … held … back. He can’t hold anything back. He doesn’t want to. He is love.

Your position is going to be one of great glory. You will be exalted. The wonder, the splendor, and the joy of that which is to come is literally beyond our capacity to imagine.

There is just one little catch. You have to choose to go to heaven. You have to choose to live in God. You have to choose to give up your un-connectedness and live in eternal union with Him. And ultimately, that means you have to joyfully submit your will to Him, so that can flow in perfect harmony with Him through all of eternity.

None of this could possibly happen without human free will. None of this could possibly hold any meaning for God is we were robots who were programmed to love Him. It has to be a free choice on our part. You might begin this journey (as I did) by choosing to avoid hell, but at some point you have to come to the place where you realize that God is infinitely beautiful and that you are going to let yourself fall everlastingly in love with Him.
