“There is a Line.”

Susan Ashton sung the song, “There is a Line.”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIGbgZbzvGw  Such exquisite lyrics.  They have played in my mind all night.  The first few lines go like this:

It’s hard to tell just when the night becomes the day

That golden moment when the darkness rolls away

But there is a moment none the less.
In the regions of the heart there is a place

A sacred charter that should not be erased
It is the marrow; the moral core that I can not ignore.

I can’t define that moment in my life with absolute clarity.  But I do know, without the slightest doubt that it happened.  It is a micro moment in which one does not care about the things holy, then one cares.  I don’t think it was a choice I made.  I think the choice to obey His calling came afterward.

Now here’s the point:  Why isn’t this slender silver moment apparent in everyone’s life?  Why do we struggle so to describe it to those who have not had it?  If we all had it we could point to a common understanding.  But it isn’t there.  Why?

One thought on ““There is a Line.””

  1. How absolutely sweet and beautiful is the Lord! This morning He showed me why this silver line of understand is there. He looks upon men with a wise and understanding eye. He searches for those who desire to know the truth. To those who desire to remain in the darkness of their own understand, He remains silent. It is an answer to their desire. To those who cry out for understanding, He responds with a sliver of light in their hearts. And to the extent that a man continues to crave Him, the Lord opens understanding slightly more.

    It is this that I have. It is His response to my cries for help. To all who call out earnestly for understanding, the Love God of Life shows mercy. And the longer I live and cry out the more He sheds His knowedge of love upon me. Darkness is no longer mine. Now, as it has been sung for a very long time, I see! This is my testimony of what is TRUE. This is the reason for this blog, the very reason.

    He is so very gentle and caring. He is not the chaos we perceive here. That belongs to “someone else”. He is pure love. He is pure wisdom. He is Life forever! He has been that way from eternity past and will be that way for eternity future. That is why I love Him. Because He never changes. What He is is what He needs to be to remain eternal. And this is the message I continually pour out so that, by all means, some might cry out.
