beyond the veil

​often times our imperfections and failures and flaws and our utterly broken mistakes tend to show up in full view, almost like watching an old movie film.

all of it right there in plain view for us to see - 

as if shame and condemnation were there to say, this is all you are. 

yet his graceful love is there to touch up against our brokenness and shatter that reflection. 

as if to say, no, not even that is enough to draw me away from you, it is still not ugly enough for me to unlove you. 

my loves stays.
my love remains. it is steadfastly there even when nothing else appears to be. 
i am still here. i still see you.
i see you beyond the veil of your imperfections.
i see you as a reflection of my image.
and i am spirit.  

i am shaping you from glory to glory into that same image, and one day you too shall see yourself as i see you. 

nothing will come between the father's heart and your heart. 

nothing can separate you from his love. 

no. your brokenness is never going to be enough for him to unlove you.

your reflection isn't meant to shame and condemn you; it is there to shape you. 

to bring you higher. 

to show you the way.

into something beyond what you see - 

to bring you into his love. 

his arms of graceful rest. 

your broken pieces cannot scare off the god that stares them down and sees right through them.

you are his.

therefore, he is in pursuit of your heart.  

and he will have it. 

and you will see yourself through the lens of love. 

in the image and likeness of what he intended all along. 

Love,
