Heaven Incomplete Without You

In the midst of a grocery store transaction the checkout lady came out from
her position at the cash register and went to the pile of hand baskets that
had erratically piled up where you put your items on the belt. Ever so
carefully she fit each in another til she had them all nicely stacked and
perfectly positioned on the floor. Only then could she return to checking
out the customer in front of me. It was some variation of Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder.

Humans are wonderfully strange. Each of us is so distinctively unique. We
come in so many different sizes. I have a few very good friends who are
birdwatchers. One of them has means and will fly anywhere in the world to
add new sightings to his life list. Others are of more normal means and
enjoy new sightings for their personal yard list. Jesus tells us in Matthew
6 that His Father is a birdwatcher. Each species is so carefully designed
and equipped with survival skills. He must be pleased when we notice and
appreciate His craftsmanship.

He is also a people watcher. He knows that checkout lady well. He knows
what makes her need to have the baskets sitting just right and of course He
knows each of our idiosyncrasies. We all have them. They are the spice
that flavors us into such distinct packages. They give us personality and
make us beings of interest. It is no wonder God wants to save everyone.
Each is special. If you are forever lost there will never be another like
you to fill God's Kingdom. Your presence in heaven will enhance the
experience for everyone. You will make heaven whole.
