I want to write about how beautiful it is to know the Father through Jesus.  But there are no words.  I want to show what He means to His people.  But what action can rightly display the Love He is?

We are saved by God’s Grace, through The Faith; and this is not our own, it comes from the Heavenly Father lest any of us should boast.  A man might walk into a cathedral and marvel at the works of art he sees.  He might feel his heart melt with the music.  And he might even fall on his knees in reverent awe at the inspiring envelope of “sacred” symbolism.  But all this pales into oblivion compared with the glory that God reveals in 5 minutes of silence before the Throne of the Most High God.

Forgiveness is the beginning.  A removing of our recognized guilt.  This is a real experience.  But there is vastly more.

He is peace.  And when we rest before Him through the sacrifice of Jesus, this peace becomes ours in some tiny measure.  He has been peace from ancient days.  And He will forever be that same peace.  He is peace to all who obey what they know about Him.  No matter how slight our understanding might be.  To obey is to enter in.

How wonderful to know the blazing Glory of God through eyes blinded yet full.  What words are there to describe what the Spirit reveals?  Even in our prayers, we are told we do not know how we should pray.  But the Spirit utters to the Father the things of our heart.  And the answer comes to us in words we cannot speak.  Yet, somehow the Spirit of God interprets for our tiny minds.

Oh God, our God of Love, Hope, and Righteousness, praise is Yours everlasting!  For You alone are peace and life.  To You we offer all we have.  Please come take what we thought was ours.  Replace our treasure with that which is Yours.  May Your Holy and Good will be done forever!  Amen.
