Eternity Today

                 Eternity Today 

Insulated coveralls hangs by the door
On the coat hook fashioned from horseshoes
Back pocket torn and frayed
Hangs lifeless without flesh inside

Heavily worn over many winters
Showing age just like the body that fits inside
Once young and invincible now lived in
Just like coveralls one day worn body cast off

World around us invisible
What is unseen will be seen
When cast off this body
World experienced anew
Truly alive as if for the first time

Beauty seen in a new light
Love experienced as intended
Joy and happiness free of pain and suffering
No more tears or regrets

To experience eternity today
Dwelling in the present engaged with unseen
Encountering Father, loving Him and receiving love
What heart and very being craves
The only One who can truly satisfy my being

Doorways

            Doorways

Thresholds and doorways folding in
One upon another like an accordion
Passing through multiple thresholds with one step
Accelerating by taking one step

New encounters
Different relationship with time
Eternal time
Moving through

One day as a thousand years
A thousands years as one day
Physically moving to places
Spiritual dimensions and crossings

Unbound with time
Sin's false contract with time
Sin's false contract with season
Sin's false contract with reason

Unbelief binds to time
Faith crosses thresholds
Entering eternity's and Eden's reality
Transcending time living in His reality
