He had excellent vision.
He looked to the East, to the West, to the North and to the South. Not one soul could he find, not one heart could he touch, but One.
Fathoms of eternity stretched out before him.
Time, space, darkness, void, a kingdom would not make.
Love is pure…
Light.
And there was light.
Love is kindness…
and there was fruit, fragrance, beauty and living water.
Love is patient …
and there was man in his arms resting…filled with new breath.
And he loved them.
He made his way through lush earth of every created hue.
It was cool and pleasant – delectable fragrances swirled in his wake.
He continued to walk for his spirit elated in their company.
He called to his beloveds.
Love hopes,
and hurts.
Love, man, hope, sin, a kingdom could not make.
He made his way to the very top of the highest point of the tallest peak in all the universe.
Fathoms of eternal lives stretched out before him.
There was no other way, but One.
Darkness, once again, covered the earth.
The heavens cried out in agony.
The scourging of flesh resounded its death song.
Love pierced his heart…and bled.
The veil of sin was torn.
Love keeps no record of wrongs.
He waits…
He perseveres…
and fills mankind with new breath.
But for now, man’s eyesight is nothing more than a poor reflection.
Time, man, redemption, promises, a kingdom will someday make.
He made a way into the heart of man into the deepest chamber of the innermost sanctuary of the soul…and now dwells, anticipating, until…
We shall see him face to face.
For the Word was with Him from the beginning and has said, “I will live with them and walk with them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.”
Love, never fails.
2 Corinthians 6:16b NIV
1 Corinthians 13 interspersed throughout story.
