We see dimly…and want more

I believe Paul wrote this down as a profound encouragement…

“Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now” [1 Cor. 13:12, NLT].

I want to point out a few things:

1. we know imperfectly
2. we will soon know with perfect clarity
3. perfect clarity = the same way God knows us (everything)

What this is implying, is that no matter how close and personal you and I may get to God in this life, there is always more! We should be on a constant drive for more of the inexhaustible beauty and presence of God, knowing that the more we experience of Him, the more there is to be had and enjoyed!

A.W. Tozer put it best,

“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more.”
