Suddenly it
came, the thought that we are constant, those of us who believe; in two places
at once, in but not of the world, citizens of heaven and residents of earth. Although
it be true that Elohim is everywhere, present always at once and is our eternal
home, it is He who surrounds us and we therefore walk the hallowed halls
continually but much of the time scarcely even being aware or taking note.
We quickly
espouse Holy Truths and yet fear them not. Those Truths surround us, permeate
our true being, our essence and yet we remain desirous of things that soon will
become vapor, gone with the using or abusing or simply abandoned for “the new
thing”.
We ARE compassed
about by the residents of heaven, a great cloud of witnesses of whom we read
about, laud their exploits and sacrifices and yet we pay their Creator and Lord
little mind much of the time, ever learning but having no true knowledge of the
intimacy which was theirs and brought them to their place in history.
His Holy
Presence is ever about. His Holy Love readied to invade a hungry soul at the
asking, to bring and sustain with all that eternity contains.
The Apostle is
correct to exhort us to not think more highly of ourselves. Really, how can it
be that we would even think equality with Him? He made us and the things that
“even the Gentiles eagerly seek”.
All things work
together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His
purpose for what end? His end, purposed before the foundation of the world that
we be found in Him and in His presence to, without ceasing even as the branch
receives of the Vine, be nurtured of His Holy Love which bears the fruit which when
taken freely by the hungry continues the propagation processes of Love’s
essence. Oh, that sweet nectar that comes from the womb of Eternal Life which
is forever birthing the more of Holy Love’s infinite manifestations.
That Holy Love
which will continue on in its quest to conquer all not of its essence and to
conform to the likeness and image of itself by and through the Word which is
near, in our mouth and in our hearts. Oh for a thousand tongues that I might
sing of His Holy Love which can change a heart in the twinkling of an eye.
