Ezekiel 37:27

My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

God the Father - Cima da Conegliano,

Dwell as You said,
among Your people.
Be our sustenance,
the light that guides us,
the air we breathe.

Come to us,
walk amid the valleys
and mountains
You created
when we were less than dust.

Dwell in our hearts,
places kept tidy and neat,
yet often littered
with gossip
and hatred.

Caress our hearts of stone
into flesh.
Enter into our tents,
allow us a meal to share
and a cup to drink.

Dwell in my home,
elaborate or tiny.
Remind me daily
of Your presence
as I praise You for mine.

I could not for the life of me see our Lord in the meaningless menagerie of spots.  I remember standing at the side of the refrigerator staring at the picture as it hung there almost taunting me. One day, in my teen years, when I wasn't really trying to see the face in the black and white blotches anymore, I saw Him.  Maybe I needed to see the face more, at that age, when I was on the threshold of adulthood then when I was a child.  Now, as the years have passed, I find it difficult not to see Him in the patterns of melting snow on the mountainside. ~ I have a question for you.  When you look at the patterns of melting snow, do you see black and white blotches

Does our law allow these things? And with the question He points back to scripture. "Have you not read". All the answers are right there. But you have to have eyes to see and ears to hear. Why then... and but...? Because you are dense, hard to teach. Two shall unite, man and woman, as in the days of creation. No man may separate or redefine. They ask a question, specific, and the Lord's answer encompasses so much more. They question divorce and He defines marriage. Does His law allow these things? copyright 2018 - Donald P James Jr
