I was talking with my daughter the other night before bed and she brought up heaven and hell. She wondered why God would send anyone to hell? It is such a simple question, and yet so deep that it has been debated by the greatest of minds.
It’s so interesting to me that in heaven there are no opposites. The opposites of heaven exist only in hell. For example, in heaven there is love, and the only way to describe the opposite of love in heaven is to say, “the absence of love”, because in heaven there is no word for hatred since it doesn’t exist there.
We live in a world where opposites co-exist, and yet our true home is in a world where opposites don’t exist.
I don’t think God sends anyone to hell, but it is almost as if heaven can’t hold us while we still contain the opposites of heaven within ourselves. Maybe it is the great weight of these opposites within that cause us to fall from heaven as Lucifer did so long ago. Maybe as we release them to Jesus we become light…
- Free of physical weight
- Electromagnetic radiation – some of which (waves within a certain portion of the spectrum) make things visible
And once we have become light (in both definitions) – there is no place that can hold us but heaven.
Oh my Love, my Lord, my sweet Jesus – the mysteries you have buried around every corner amaze me, excite me and fill me with great joy as I stumble upon them time and time again.
