Lord, my heart is meek before You. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head – such as Your complex mysteries and wonders – that I’m not yet ready to understand. Psalm 131:1.

My usual blog of sharing a chapter of Scripture will pick back up tomorrow. This morning in our Friday Zoom Retreat, there were only five of us and we first shared prayers and praises as we normally do. And it struck me how we are five people from Texas, Tennessee, Colorado, and Kenya and we are family. And I thought that because in our Retreat we wanted to keep it simple and so our presenter asked us when we die and are standing before Creator God – Father, Son, Spirit, what question would we really like God to answer. And all of that is even possible – us being together from diverse locations around the globe, us sharing with one another concerns and blessings, us talking about God and finding such delight – because God is Creator and we are His children dearly loved. Can you imagine the family reunion when we are all finally with God and with one another unbroken? Our small family group was just a small representation of the whole of humanity loving God and loving one another.

What question(s) would you have? Have you ever given it any thought? A small sampling for us included will Judas be forgiven? Will we be able to talk with Noah and others from Scripture about what it was like? Do those who have gone before us exist only in another plane of existence, our spirit safe in the Father, or are they here with us at times? Will He walk with us through our life experiences and show us where He was present we never knew? How exactly did the creation happen? Why the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? And the amazing thing is that as we shared together those questions, more wonderful questions arose adding to the deeper questions within. As you begin a walk with Creator God, you go deep. And going deep with one another opens up the whole expanse of us and Creator God.

I want to live this life knowing God and His love first-hand. Instead of seeing problems too big for me, I want to see Him first and all the way through. I look forward to all of us, all of humanity, being together…unbroken and healing in His love. Can you imagine what the creation healed and unbroken will look like? A lighter moment came when one of us was sharing that very thought, of how much we can’t see of how beautiful creation really is, and all of a sudden, light poured in through her window obscuring her Zoom image in a hazy white film, and we all laughed and appreciated together the wink from God….See? You see through a glass darkly!

I can’t imagine the questions I will have when I am finally standing before Creator God. What was of vital importance before in this life, will it be understood better as we see His deep, faithful, abiding love looking right into our eyes? Do we live and die in stages of ages for a reason, instead of all at once? Will we be able to see a replay of the moments of creation as they unfolded including our own times here? I don’t know. But I trust the One who does know because He IS and that is everything I need to understand so the deep and deeper still can unfold just the way it should for all of us in Him. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you.
