Through Dark-Clouded Glass

...In this world you will have trouble (pain and sorrow). (Jn. 16:33b) That "trouble" will often become the filter thru' which we distortedly view everything else in life...sometimes it will distort even our view of the Father.

But, He has overcome the world! And someday, believer, the overcomer will come for us; then we will see him as he truly is, in all of his glory...face-to-face...the filter removed!

For now, Lord, I will continue beholding your face in righteousness (right standing, rightness, justice). I will be fully satisfied when I awake (to find myself) beholding your form (and having sweet communion with you)! (Ps. 17:15 AMP)

We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! (1 Cor. 13:12 MSG)

...come (quickly), Lord Jesus! (Rev. 22:21b)
