The Truth about Fulfillment
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” 1 Corinthinans 13:12
Saint Paul, beheaded for his once seen Lord,
Predicted that believers all will see
Him as He is. Immortal the reward
That they will see perfection perfectly
And all be seen by him, yes, face to face
As they see him. The real attraction, though,
Of such a promise is they won’t embrace
This fullness. What they each will darkly know
Is endless rest in death. If someone finds
The utterness we call perfection that
Deep knowledge would become the thing that blinds,
Becoming like a death, the widest splat.
..Once hearts experience a total dream
….As fact, it drifts away as lukewarm steam.
