The Word became Flesh and made His Dwelling among us. We have seen His Glory, the Glory of the One and Only Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

I am quite sure I do not have an inkling of what I did when I accepted the Lord; certainly I had a hunger for Him long before the words spilled from my lips inviting Him into my heart. From reading Scripture I know, in my mind that I will be with Him forever and not suffer death...but I am STILL sure I don't have the slightest understanding of what I have done in the face of eternity.
While I have had muted visions of the Life Beyond, the fact that I will be in His Presence, constantly, irrevocably, eternally still seems far off. Maybe even a little unreal. Perhaps if it WAS more real to me I would be less likely to sin. I know that when I am closest to God doing anything to disturb that connection is the furthest thing from my mind.
Two thousand years ago, a Baby was born on Earth. To some, it would seem that just another peasant had been added to the teaming hordes. To another, a threatening Opponent that he assumed had come to dethrone him. To yet others, under a brilliant star, a Savior lay waiting to recieve them. I think while everyone has had their own encounter with Him, not of us knows the true impact of it.
Someday, in another time, in another place, in a better world, we will fully understand this thing that we have done. But right now, it lies wrapped under the Tree of Life, something that we cannot even begin to comprehend....His Life a Gift to us.

Blyth,
Thanks once again for making me think, evaluate, and appreciate my walk with Christ!!

And thanks for writing again! I personally want to thank you for sharing your talents with us!!

God bless you richly!

Byth that was awesome. I'd like to turn that into a 'mini article' and post it on the web if that's ok with you. Note: ... Oops! I jumped the gun and uploaded it when I was uploading some edits Deb had done for me! If you want your article yanked Blyth let me know (I don't like to post articles until I have the authors permission). To check it out go to "The Word Became Flesh".
