A future that is always bigger than the past

In God the future is always bigger than the past
our future is heaven - being with God
and with each other as the fully formed Body of Christ -
our challenge is to live the future now
to live heaven now
to live on earth as it is in heaven
enjoying God for love of God alone
without instrumental transactions
enjoying one another as members of one body
as one in Christ, without distinctions or hierarchies
of male and female, Jew or Gentile, slave or free
forever is love of the other for the other forever
anticipate forever and we know love on earth as it is in heaven
a future that is always bigger than the past

(based on 'A Future That's Bigger Than The Past: Towards the renewal of the Church' by Samuel Wells)
