Meaningless Time
Time. Corporeal existence. Somehow
it is through those that interaction Reality arises. Through those Deep
Love arises. And horrors arise. And beauty arises.
Time. Matter. For now what we have
to work with.
Yet nothing arising from them has meaning other
than in the eternal. Here and Now is the moment of Creation, we a painful
part of that Creation.
The time and vanishing physical forms are
illusions. Yet through them we are empowered by God to create the
eternal, eternal bonds and Love.
"Do not be discouraged", whispers
Spirit. Our capacity for control and power seems terribly limited.
Our wishes and will, even when uttered in the name of Jesus, seem pointless and
hopeless. Yet time deceives, making us think that the will of God is not
unfolding. Our entrapment in the Now blocks our view of unfolding Purpose
and fulfillment of our hopes. Our incarceration in the corporeal keeps us
apart. Yet in the usual Paradox, it is that corporeal and temporal nature
that facilitate creation of the real and enduring.
Faith, faith worn and tattered by the
interminable delay of prophecy, faith is our source of warmth in the biting
cold of the temporal world. Faith is a capacity to sense and know beyond
the body of Now.
The moment will pass, has already passed.
The physical forms are disappearing before our eyes. All that passing
makes room for fulfillment of our prayers. All that is real and
meaningful takes time. That is the oft repeated lesson, the lesson of the
widow and of the bridesmaids. Time and the physical, in their fleeting
passage, erect the eternal. Hold fast to the vision of faith, to
awareness of Truth. So much better, a seemingly delayed answer that
endures through eternity than an instant gratification that just as promptly
disappears along with the rest of the world. Be glad the answers to your
prayers are not immediately evident in the world, for that would mean they
would just as quickly disappear along with the world.
Let it unfold. Do not be deceived by
time. The needs are known. The prayers are heard. Their
fulfillment will not be through anything as unreliable as worldly
outcomes. Hold fast to faith as you watch time render the corporeal to
dust, thereby making room for answers eternal.
