Like this, but with God |
Heaven—Reports from the Celestial Kingdom indicate that even
after millions upon millions of people in worlds without end, God still thoroughly enjoys playing peek-a-boo with
pretty much all of His children.
“Yah, He just never seems to tire of hiding and hiding and then suddenly appearing in the lives of mortals,” said one angelic source.
“I’ve got to say,” said another source, “that sometimes it
can seem a little mean.” This heavenly source went to explain that “that thing
He did with Abraham, you know, and his son Isaac, and then just at the last
moment He jumped out and was like ‘JK—here’s a ram instead.’”
The angel clarified that “of course it isn’t just for
fun, I mean, Abraham learned about God and God’s sacrifice.” The angel stated
that Abraham learned trust, and that “even though you can’t see God does not
mean He is gone forever—the same thing that little kids learn when humans play
peek-a-boo with them.”
“Let me say that a really memorable game,” continued an angel, “was the one God playing with C.S. Lewis—I mean that man was so taken by all of it that he wrote a
book about it called Surprised by Joy.”
A final source noted that “I think one of the best parts is
hearing both humans and God laugh when He surprises them—we just all smile at
that. Sometimes it is a long wait, but that laugh is totally worth it!”
