Instead of focusing on what we don’t have
and the difficulties of our circumstance
Jesus, help us lift our eyes remembering…
void of You…there’d be no second chance, and…
If You…parted the veil
that exposed our soul’s true condition
we would crumble in a corner…
never ceasing murmured…contrition.
If You…parted the veil
revealing…what for us…You daily fight…
we’d turn and run like antelopes
filled with fright.
If You let us see for just a second
how things without You…would be
we would bow in reverence before You
our praise…would never cease.
We will never know on this side…all…
You have saved us from
the traps and snares of evil, indeed…
the wicked attacks, undone.
We can’t imagine the grievous assails
or the horrors that would produce
the ever haunting echoes of
an unending…wail.
It is only Your Great Love that obscures it…
You knowing we are but fashioned…
covered and held together with
flesh nails.
Albeit, we could not bare the scenes
that would invade our dreams
nor could we hold back the screams…
If …You parted the veil.
LAM 3:22-24, 1 CORN 13: 9-12

Of the other hand, now that we are civilized wealthy and can consume much more of the Earth's bounty than we need, our souls are filled with holes. If we withdraw the curtain, we would find many of the laws brought in by the Jewish (10 Commandments) and legal systems to control people (under God's law?) Would be routinely violated by almost everyone. We now call serious bad behavior "diseases" that can be cleansed by merely confessing or believing.
Ask my deepest secrets privately and I will tell you.
