Van Morrison, in one of his songs talks about "dreaming in God." I find that thought very compelling in the sense that it's the point of living. What I dream about is who I am and what I truly enjoy. We can enjoy God now. He is the reason for living. How does this dreaming find it's way into our heads and into our hearts? How do we give ourselves up to God to the point of "dreaming in him?"
John Owen says, "This communion will be perfect and complete when we enter into the full enjoyment of Christ's glories. Then we shall totally give ourselves up to him, resting in him as the fulfillment of all our desires...This communion is now only partial because we presently only enjoy the first fruits of that future perfection."
Again, John Owen says, "I pray that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has, by the riches of his grace, brought us from a state of enmity into this glorious fellowship with himself, may give you such a taste of his sweetness and excellence in this communion as to be stirred up to a greater longing for that eternal enjoyment of him in eternal glory."
