"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven"
The wait is over and the new season is finally here. Although I knew that my God would get me here to this point, knowing and living it are two very different things. There were struggles in that season. Doubt and uncertainty are an illnesses that tries to grip hold of your soul and drag you back to the darkness to which we once belonged. But now we do not live in the darkness, and there is no shade of the In-between. We live in the light, a light not from any sun or moon, but light from the pure holiness and glory of our king. So doubt and uncertainty, to you I say there is no room for iLife's this new life, you are garments that no longer fit this body. And even if you did I have new clothes that belong to royalty.
"This is my beloved and this is my friend..."
With that season over, I enter a new one. However this time there is another who steps along the road with me. My best friend and companion. My love. She follows my lead and covers the areas of my soul that are weak. She and I were always designed and invented to be together, this I know now with certainty as it has happened. My king has decreed it and here we are. And yet he takes it further and displays to the world, something, a shadow, a cloudy reflection of his love for for his people.
Now I have to wonder, if the intensity of this love is so powerful, and it's only a poor picture of his love for us, then how far beyond all comprehension and understanding will the sheer power, purity, depth and velocity of the joy we will have when fully understanding the love that he gives us on that day. I would not be surprised if that is one of the reasons we need to have new bodies, made of eternally stronger stuff, So that it can withstand the power of that joy of his love for us. Him who died for us and rose again to give us new life, that love partially seen and understood now. Fully then. But even that partiality now is awesome.
So, In some ways we are no longer in that season of waiting, but we will always be waiting for is his return. But as we wait, my wife and I will hold fast to our kings love, and let him guide us to the end of the road he has set us on. To be with him, forever.
