Eternal Beauty

We sung the Lord's prayer this morning at church...
These are just some thoughts, inspired by what God has told us to pray for, and then flowing off of a few things I've been contemplating recently.


Our Father hallowed be thy name

You, O Lord, are holy and deserve my adoration and all honor.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

I pray you would hasten your coming as I seek to fulfill your plan to bring people into a real relationship with you

Give us today our daily bread

Provide for my needs and the needs of Your body, the church

and forgive our debts

Cleanse and heal us

We need your mercy

Desperately

as we forgive our debtors

Help us to understand Your forgiveness through forgiving one another in love

and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

Shield me from the destruction of the world and cover me with Grace

for thine is the Kingdom forever

I acknowledge You are forever, You are in control and You are the ruler of all of heaven and earth for eternity!

I acknowledge the reality of eternity and that you've already won and taken the throne!

Eternity is now!

It's already begun.

If something has no end, then can it resonably be subject to time constraints?

Has it not already existed?

I acknowledge eternity--

I will see souls

I will seek to see not the physical but the eternal.

Each soul reflects a part of my Lord, therefore each soul has a beauty all it's own

That beauty, has been robbed from so many souls,

The beauty of God's own righteousness

He seeks to restore it.

God's creation, His souls.

are beautiful and individual.

I will seek to patch the holes in people's souls

with the fabric of salvation.

see not the physical but the eternal

For what is eternally beautiful but the Lord?

Let us not destory our bodies and souls

but let us understand

our Master is gracious and has given us life and dignity!

My sin destroys that which my Savior loved--Me

not only me but the others I hurt when I sin

Let me value the eternal

I want to understand who I am!

He values me and says I am beautiful

So I want to know who I am

He sees the eternal, so what beauty am I given?

Surely it is not physical,

but it is His own Righteousness

The Lord's beauty is now mine and resides in me

I have become the Beauty of the Lord

As the eternal Beauty of the Lord,

How will I live?
