“What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. What I know now is only partial; then it will be complete – as complete as God’s knowledge of me.”  I Corinthians 13:12  GNT


As well as I know Famous, and as good as my memory is of his looks, his behaviors, his habits, it is never as complete and full as seeing him face-to-face. I have been away for a week, longing for the time when I would see his face and hear his bark again. Memory and imagination can be strong, and even in my dreams he may appear real, but it cannot compare to being with him and interacting with him. It is good to be home!

God calls us to walk with him daily, for only if we spend time together can we find the many facets of his love which He desires to reveal to us. We can imagine God to be in many forms with many purposes, but these may not be true images if we have not invested the time to understand our relationship with our Creator. But even then our comprehension can only be a glimpse of the full knowledge which will be our reward in heaven.


Teach me to seek Your face each morning, O Lord, and commit what I learn to memory!
