"We shall long to be fulfilled of endless joy and bliss. For we are made thereto, and our Nature-Substance is now blissful in God, and hath been since it was made, and shall be without end."
Julian of Norwich (ch. 45)
The more we come to know God as He truly is, all loving and all gracious and all kindness, the more we want to just bask in His presence and be filled up with the joy and bliss of God. That's what we were made for. We were made to be thrilled with the wonder of oneness with God. We were made to be fulfilled by knowing Him and enjoying Him forever. We were made to be totally, infinitely happy in God. For He is true happiness. Even now, our spirit or nature is one with God, enjoying God, happy in God. It always has been and always will be totally full and fulfilled in God, rejoicing in His presence. Our conscious awareness will catch up to this reality and know it fully, too, one day. And we'll be swept up in the love and bliss and presence of God forever!
"You will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
Psalm 16:11 (NIV)
A Prayer: I am always in Your presence, rejoicing in You!
