To Hide and Seek...Something Sacred

I write from memory...the sacred...hidden deep within my mind, not lost mind you, but literally etched into the framework of my thoughts...weaved into the here and now...a sacred thread...the gift of a mind being renewed.

(I'll not worry tonight...if it's word for word and punctuation perfect....those details will continue to come)

Ephesians 1:1-10

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God.
To the saints who are in Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and blameless before him.

In love, he predestined us for adoption as sons (and daughters) through Jesus Christ,
according to his perfect will, to the praise of his glorious grace,
with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

In Him, we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of our trespasses,
according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us
in all wisdom and insight,
making known to us the mystery of his will,
according to his purpose
which he set forth in Christ as a plan
for the fullness of time,
to unite all things in him
things in heaven and things on earth.

Sacred Words.

While the rest of this house sleeps, I whisper aloud the words I have "hidden" in my heart...I know that I have found the treasure in the "seeking".

I say them aloud again...and tremble inside with the understanding that the living God lives in me.  And before he even created the world he knew that we would leave him and that only his grace could save us.  And so together they made a plan, to change my destiny and yours, a plan born of love, but costing death.  The only way we could get back to him, uniting heaven and earth in Him, past present and future. He did it.  And these are God's words in my mouth.  Not my words.   God's words living and breathing in my mind, transforming...redeeming...life giving...light shedding.  Sacred.  The renewing of my mind.

Oh Father...fill us with your Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that we can know you better....so that we can understand the treasure of your words hidden in our hearts as we seek the sacred.
