To the praise and glory of Christ (that moment)

Posted on by

That moment.

That moment when everything will make perfect sense.
That moment when beauty and passion will dissolve into my being,
Changing me to receive more of you more fully.
That moment when all my desires will be instantly fulfilled by looking upon you.
That moment when nothing will be lacking and everything will be overflowing.
That moment when you will fill all space and time,
And all my senses will know your sweetness.
That moment when I will receive all that you promised me
Simply by being before you in your presence.
That moment that requires me to first die
So I can live with you in it.
That moment which you willed to be
That you might meet me there and fill it with all of you.
That moment which you let me glimpse
So I know it is coming.

How I long for that moment
When I will fully know that all and everything is
To the praise and glory of Christ.

There is a Father’s heart

There is a Father’s heart that bears the pain of sorrow and grief.
There is a Father’s heart that breaks to see His own Son broken.
There is a Father’s heart that knows suffering as His own Son suffers.
There is a Father’s heart that cries the same tears as His own Son’s tears.
There is a Father’s heart that bleeds with the wounds of His own Son.
There is a Father’s heart that feels the pain of a mother’s broken heart.
There is a Father’s heart that cries out as His own Son cries out to the one who can save Him.
There is a Father’s heart that feels the darkness of the One who made Himself sin for us.
There is a Father’s heart that is torn as life is torn from the One He loves the most.
There is a Father’s heart that overflows with love for His obedient Son.
There is a Father’s heart that beats steadily and unceasingly even when His own Son’s heart stops beating.
There is a Father’s heart that is heavy like that of His own Son’s lifeless body.
There is a Father’s heart that forgives those who cause His pain.
There is a Father’s heart that was prepared to suffer the pain for our gain.
There is a Father’s heart that loves His Son and a Son’s heart that loves His Father.
