Have you ever worn sunglasses at night? If you’re in an unfamiliar place you may experience a little anxiety, not knowing exactly where there are steps, pillars, or doors. If you have someone with you, then you can ask them to help you walk (if you have faith and trust in them) and hope that they lead you down the right path to where you want to go.
Our spiritual walk here on earth is similar to this. 1Corinthians 13:12 says, “For now we see in a mirror, dimly…” This is telling us that we don’t see and can’t see everything clearly – like as if we had sunglasses over our eyes at night. But this verse goes on to say, “but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” God tells us that the day we’re in heaven is the day He takes the tinted sunglasses off our face and in the same way He knows us, we’ll know Him!
Verse 13 goes on to say… “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.” Josh White from the Christian Band Telecast spoke at this year's men's retreat and said these words, "One day Faith and Hope will no longer be necessary for the object of your faith and hope will be before you… “face to face”." But what will be necessary is love. The Bible tells us to love our friends, neighbors, family, and even our enemies… most of all love God.
Trust that God will walk you through life down the path that leads to His perfect love. May peace be with your soul this day for your every breath is held by God.
“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” – 1Corinthians 13:12, 13 NKJ
