Reflection

Posted on by Marla
We look, but we do not see, for what is seen is only the outer shell
What is unseen is a mystery of bone, organs and cells…
Looking deeper, pulling back layer upon layer,
We begin to see the soul…
The place where Jesus dwells…
Holy Spirit, three in one
God of creation, and Jesus the Son…
Intricate beings we’re seen in new light
Going higher and higher we take our flight
Love revealed, we soar to new heights…
Look deeper when you meet someone
They’re carrying the Spirit of God’s Holy Son
Waiting to be seen the mystery unfolds…
Not just skin, bone and blood to behold…
The person you’re looking at is so much more than that
And as you look, you’ll see God staring back…

Psalm 139:14-16 The Message (MSG)
13-16 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
    you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
    Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
    I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
    you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
    how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
    all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
    before I’d even lived one day.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4

  1. It is astounding to me MarLa how God can look and see all our souls and we for who we are to the core and all the hidden potential. How intricately woven we were from our mother’s womb. Your post too allowed me to better appreciate the diversity others were created for.
