Here. Now. All ready come to Pass.

Here. Now. Soon to be. All ready done.
Trust... broken or redirected? 
Perception is often skewed as it drips away from the painting before us.
The painting... oh the painting is far to large for us to see in its' entirety.
No... we peer through tinny droplets as they pass before us, as they wash over us, as they are absorbed by us.
Its hard to have any certainty... in fact with our sight, or lack there of, we have no certainty in this world.
But I, then do not see through this world entirely. No, I see through a far more revealing lens that only shows things come to pass. Things that I could not have ever seen had I not peered through the scope in the right way.
The scope my friend is good, and its' sight is more clear than crystal, more pure than the purest of gold.
To glimpse through this lens, one must first trust. 
Trust first, and you will see more vibrantly, more extravagantly, more intrinsically than ever before.
But you must trust that these things are true of the lens, for if not, you will see nothing clearly and most certainly be lost and most certainly be confused.

Yours Truly,
NW

The Great Pursuit

Pursuit of the Lord might stem from a passion for the Lord. Now in a marriage, some might say that one's passion would die out. I say that it does not have to, but only change its form. When I first came into relationship with the Lord, I was passionate in burst, and passionate in my emotions towards Him. Over time, my passion has matured, and now comes in a long term pursuit of Him, and being relentless in my desire to know Him more intimately and deeply and be more and more captivated by His very nature. In the same way, I believe my passion for my wife will work the same way. I believe the Lord will drive my passion for my wife, because it will first be received by Him... just some random thoughts.

What hint...


What hint have i found...
What hint have i found to presume about this life?

Walking down a bridge at 12:30 leads me much deeper now than it did then. Swimming in a fountain 4 ft deeps drowns me with the unknown of what this could be. Rolling unto my hurt allows me to feel comforted. 
Thank you, for now i feel like i have some sense of the future, as scary as it maybe.
