Wheel Within a Wheel

"And I looked and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling chrysolite. And as for their appearance, they four looked alike, as if a wheel had been within a wheel..." Ezekiel 10:9-11

Eternity; the Elusive. Humanity; the Gritty. Resurrection Life...the Beauty. The merging and wholeness, ever-intended from the beginning.

"For I am God, and there is no other;       I am God, and there is none like Me,       Declaring the end from the beginning,       And from ancient times things that are not yet done,       Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,       And I will do all My pleasure,’ "- Isaiah 46:9-10

Eternity is written upon our hearts. The nature of planet earth even builds hidden ice cathedrals to the Fame of God. The depths of the ocean are His playground. Each whale He holds as His own. He takes pleasure in the sparrows. Not one falls to the earth, without His knowledge. The High and Lofty One. Yet! We, His people and His Bride have become the apple of His eye!

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.” -Psalm 19:1-2

There has been a question toggling at my heart in the world of the secret place. The question being; of the worth of the totality, the sum of my being, as I stand before the very Ancient of Days. His scales. His value system. His eyes of Fire. Will my heart survive that flame? Will I find that anything I have done on earth, gives worth to the Lamb who was slain? For perhaps, it is not in the asking or the assessment, but in the peace of knowing which passes knowing? The Love of God, which is greater than even our feeble hearts (which condemn us.) What is the weight of my fruit in the eyes of eternity? Truly, it is a game of pride, to try to quantify and qualify one's thoughts, motives, and actions, even through the lense of Christianity. For we do not discern as God sees. Only God knows the heart of a man. 

Time; man's invention? Or God's redemptive linear tool; leading chronologically to the cataclysmic dawning of a brighter day! Jesus, the Morning Star. We await your coming light!

We shall inhabit eternity with God. If we believe upon His sacrifice. What depth and heights of love. To explore the brightness of the Holy. Inexhaustible Light. What joy awaits us, if we will not give up. If we will, but OVERCOME.

For God is the foundation. God is the Fountain. In His light, we see light. He inhabits eternity. He is the very Ancient of Days. He quantifies my fruit. He is the one to say, "Well done, Faithful Servant." He sees the sum of my days, the weight of my actions, good and bad. What is done in love, will remain. That which stands the test of His all-consuming flame of Love will forever glorify His name. Antiphonal crescendo of praise!

So, that is my prayer. A wheel within a wheel. Time within eternity. Humanity and fragility held in the expanse of LOVE. Melissa living for the Fame of His Great Name. For all of my days.
