If there's one thing I'm excited for, it's to meet my Creator. Don't get me wrong. I'm in no hurry to pass, but the day I am called home to Him will be incredible, let me tell you. One thing that's really unfathomable as a Christian is the greatness of Our Savior. It's interesting to me because we can only compare His greatness to earthly things, but His greatness is so holy, our minds don't even have the capacity to understand. Although I know all of this, I have compiled a list of really amazing earthly things that are less amazing than the day we get to meet God, to get all of you believers out there excited.
