I finally have a logical reason why we are so impacted by the beauty of the wilderness.
In the wilderness, our hearts get a taste of what heaven will be like.
There’s something about a place where God has made everything in sight…
Something about the near-perfection…
Something about the infinite variety in the simple things…
Something about the unique sights…
That makes my heart long for the place where perfection is, where there are no more tears, where Jesus is the focal point of all things.
Until I can go there – until I can see Jesus face to face – I’ll wait here and let my heart soar in this foretaste of heaven.
