A parent sees past the hurtful, immature words their child speaks. Hate. Disgust. Our Father forgives us of our immature ways. He understands us and knows us.
Life hurts, doesn't it? People hurt us. We hurt people. I think there is something to be understood by the perspectives we have. They seem to define us. I wish they wouldn't. There is something so much better, but I believe our flesh hinders us from knowing it - the absolute Truth of God:
I Corinthians 13:12:
“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.”
We are made up of a body and a spirit:
Genesis 2:7:
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”
It is our spirits that long for heaven:
Philippians 3:20-21:
“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.”
In heaven our spirits will be free of the pressures on our bodies and the effects of this world.
The earth, and our lives, can feel like a prison. Every once in awhile we catch a glimpse of our Father - of Truth. In prison the cell walls become our reality. We come to make expectations from them. It is the mirror we see ourselves in. The Father aches because of it. Look past the walls. Let them be transparent. Don't let them make you who you are. This world we live in is not our eternal destiny. It is not true reality. It is a temporary state. It is a training ground. There is SO much more to come. Don't let this training get you down. Overcome. Seek your Father with all your heart, mind, soul, and body. For then, and only then, will you find the Truth, and your Father. This life is just the beginning.
The world, and our flesh, mask the Truth and inhibit us and distract us. How I wish it didn't. How I wish we could all see the Truth and move past what our eyes see and what our bodies feel. I wish, and I pray, for greater revelation of our true, eternal purpose that we might be used fully by the Lord.
Stop.
Listen.
Hear,
your Father. He wants to talk with you. Only through the Holy Spirit can this be accomplished.
Nearly everything we feel through our bodies in this world is a distraction from the Truth. Only the righteous spirit can be set apart from it and only then can the Truth be revealed. Learn to separate your body from this world and listen through your spirit to the Holy Spirit. What our bodies feel and see isn't true reality – it is just the temporary world we live in. What our spirits feel is God’s truths.
We see, but we don't see. We feel, but we don't feel.
