… I could imagine the world as I intended it to be?
I am going to share what I wrote back on December Sixth, Twenty-twenty:
WHAT IF, right now, we could imagine a world without fear, a world of love??? ?… Just like we knew it from the beginning IN THE GARDEN. I believe that when we can come to the state of our true being, that essence of who we are, then we will see, and “Know, even as we have been known“ as Paul expressed to us in one of his letters.
- [ed. note: from 1 Corinthians 13, and in context – “when I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known. But now, faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (New American standard Bible)
Who we truly are has not yet appeared (before our eyes), but this one thing we do now in order to reach that, “Forgetting what lies behind, we press forward to what lies ahead. “
- [ ed. note: to expound upon that thought further, consider these words from Paul to the assembly at Corinth – picked up at First Corinthians, chapter thirteen, known as the “love chapter of the Bible”, and beginning with verse twelve … “Not that I have already grasped it all or have already become perfect, but I press on if I may also take hold of that for which I was even taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, all who are mature, let’s have this attitude; and if anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that to you as well…” ]
selah…. I Am made in His image and likeness and reflect who He is in all my ways
