January 16 Echoes of Eternity
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory. . . .
II Corinthians 3:18
My child, it is a continual wonder and surprise to you that I, the Lord of all creation, should deign to speak and commune with you, a creature of dust and time. Yet here I glorify Myself in a way that only those created in My image can experience and realize. Nor is My glory a selfish one, for in this communion of Spirit with spirit, your own human nature is lifted to a new level.
Your earthly life span will never exhaust nor solve the mystery you touch here. That is too deep and profound for your present state. But it will “unfold” as you practice it, growing brighter and more precious, even as the mystery remains.
Take seriously this word: you are being prepared for the life beyond your earthly time-span. That is real. Do not lose sight of it nor waste the opportunities I am supplying you day by day.
