I Corinthians


13:9: For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

13:10: But when that which is perfect is come,
then that which is in part shall be done away.

13:11: When I was a child, I spake as a child,
I understood as a child, I thought as a child:
but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

13:12: For now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face: now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also as I am known.



Beyond the dark glass is the manifestation of a loving and creative omnipotence,
as palpable as our own flesh, which we now only perceive through faith.
The essence of which is the author of our very existence.
We are as much a portion of it as it is our very framework.
As we would scarcely hold our fleshly member over a flame for an instant,
this creative, loving, omnipotence will not suffer it's member,
which we know of as ourselves, to languish in self imposed torment.
The members of this universal beneficence, who have gone on before us,
wish no malice upon any, for they bask in ever lasting love.
The same love that surrounds and permeates each of us.
In that love, exists only forgiveness and comfort.
If we embrace the love, that is our essence,
being evidenced by our forgiveness of ourselves and our brothers and sisters.
Only then, the healing can begin. My dearest Brothers and Sisters, Peace.



"I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?" - Fred Rogers

As we gaze into a darkened glass, the first that we see,
is the reflection of our own fleshly manifestation.
As we are able to focus beyond that which we recognize as ourselves,
we begin to understand that, of which and who we have been made.

Is not this amazing how you know spiritual truth. I see the reflection of who I am to everyone else. suddly, I am thinkful that God looks past that image and see the true me. so it is about time that we look past the reflection that religion reflects about God. it's just an image.

thanks for your post it is great. would love to read more.
