Faith, Hope, and Love – 2015.10.28

Now we see but a poor reflection as in the mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope , and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1. Corinthians 13: 12+13
Presently I am able to see Jesus but sofar only His contours. It is as if one sees a city from far: You can recognize the silhouette but not identify details. Now I know in part and not fully as the Kingdom of God is described in the bible. Now I partly can receive the promises of God but not in full as it will happen one day. Now I can serve Jesus, however with some hardship with many mistakes, errors and weaknesses. Over there everything will go allright. Here I can praise God, however sometimes a little bit weak, not wholeheartedly and not always so melodiously. There I will praise Him with all of my heart and with a loud and clear voice. Here I can follow Jesus in weakness and with mistakes. There I am holy and healed.
Here we still have to fight with ourselves and everything; in heaven we will have rest. Never we will let us knock down, be discouraged when everything around us is still not very holy and perfect. He will change us there fully and we will be perfect. Here we are totally dependent on Him!
Here we may have hope and faith. We know, God will make His word true.
God knows me through and through. Everything He knows about me. My knowledge of Him, however, is rather limited. There I will know Him through and through. Then the goal of faith and hope is fulfilled. Then only love remains which reigns without limitation.
God knows me totally. How soothing it is to know that. He knows my plans, my wishes; He knows all chambers of my body; He holds me tight in His hand. He knows my way and the time when I will come to Him. His walk with me is wonderful!
Thank you, Jesus, I can trust You! You are my hope, which will come true one day. Already now I can talk with You and feel Your presence, but then it will be marvellous. Already now You hold me securely and firmly in your hand. I have quite a lot of weaknesses and errors, however, Your love is covering them. I am living out of Your grace and mercy and will continue to go my way with you.
