IF...You Parted The Veil

There are many things that are still a 'mystery' to us, many things that we cannot see...good and bad. Our God who loves us so… shields our vision with His veil. We cannot even begin to surmise ‘all’ He, who continuously fights valiantly and victoriously for us, is protecting and keeping us from... as we trust Him and… Press on!


Poem Artwork

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

When it comes to who God is, and what He has planned for those who love Him, we most certainly see (at present) through a glass darkly. Some of the most fascinating parts of scripture to me, are the encounters: Ezekiel's visions of the Most High God, Paul the Apostle being taken up into the third heaven, Jacobs Ladder, Isaiah's vision of the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, with the train of His robe filling the temple, John standing watching listening and weeping in the Throne room, etc.... Oh for those days soon coming when His people will see clearly forevermore. Enjoyed your thoughts, JMS Bell. Hope you're well and healthy. Peace.

Yes! Well done, Joyce. We can see clearly now that HE has come. We can see clearly now because Jesus came to show us the way. We can see clearly now that the Holy Spirit is inside us to stay. Amen X 110!

Joyce, God's using you as a mighty vessels for the salvation billion soul harvest. Keep shining your light! God bless your anointing sister. It is a time we must present ourselves to be seasoned with salt and light for great are times to come, yet it will seem just darkness has prevailed, it has not!!!!!. Stay prayed up and meditate on lots of scripture...We hope, we trust only in Him, at what He's done and the gift of the blood at the mercy seat cross of Christ. Hold on!

Why I like indigenous people with many gods that they thank every time they take from the environment in a sustainable way. They all have a hierarchy of authority generally with either women or the elders in charge. When we lift the veil on their souls we find lusting for what they can't have but a lot of sharing and worthy behavior. Any miscreants are usually banished because their souls are known by their behavior.

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.

Indeed, we do not see the truth directly as a physical reality but only from behind the veil. The challenge for us is to lift the veil to see what cannot be seen with the physical eyes.
