Clarity
There seems to be, every so often, an obscure line that one is never quite sure if he has crossed. Why is this line obscure, one might ask? Is it because of things yet to come, or things all ready passed. It is the action of faith that makes clear something that cannot be seen. Yet It is quite a thing, faith is, for it itself is unseen. So faith becomes the lens by which we peer through to gain clarity on an unpredictable, unthinkable, unimaginable, unseeable situation. It is a grand thing when put in this place to use faith to see more clearly and vibrantly than in any attempt made by the most fine reason or sharp interpretation. I thank you, my God, for showing me the depths of my weakness.

Faith is a lens.
ReplyDeleteI like that.
I was thinking about how we describe what we have never seen before with the simple human eye, yet we strive wholeheartedly to believe in Him. The somewhat overused metaphors, "draw near to him," "open up your heart," and so on. It becomes repetitive and a bit far fetched. Then i thought how else are we supposed to describe something, someone, outside of our realm. We only see what a human can perceive which isn't much when we're dealing with the Creator of all. So trying to dissect and relate to God is easier to do (still difficult) in our minds than describing it, than explaining his nearness to us, to our hearts.
