The Prepared Place

My attention has been on the words of Apostle Paul lately in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. The phrase that really knocks my socks off is "what God has prepared for those who love him." That implies that God has been busy working, getting something ready, something he has in mind for those who love him. 

If you'll hang with me it gets even better. The next phrase is, "But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit." Revealed what? What does the Holy Spirit want to reveal to us? What God has prepared for those who love him. 

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would take from what is his and make it known to us. He would take from what God has for us and show it to us. Why does God want to show us what he has for us? Tell me what you think and then I'll tell you what I think.

Blessings

To show us he loves us. A pretty generic answer I know but it's what I think. Also to get our minds on eternal things rather than things of this world???

I don't know though Please tell

oops sorry, I was going stealth with my answer.

I hate these kinds of questions but I agree with Josiah and I would also say because If we get a glimpse of our future, our past looks pathetic!

Vision motivates us to be more than we are right now.
