“… O Sovereign Lord, holy and true,…“ Rev 6:10
Lord what do I say.
The words seem stuck somewhere in the depths of my heart.
I can feel thoughts bubbling and boiling in pictures that cannot be put into words. May there should be something like a Polaroid camera, taking snapshots of my thoughts, magically linking them to words, shaping them into sentences
Holy and true.
How can anyone begin to define,
squeeze
into a few pithy words the
awesomeness of all that You are.
Integrity:
no gap between your words, your actions, your motives.
Showing the same picture to all,
no different faces for different people.
All who come to you and seek you find you to be consistent, faithful, true.
Completely unlike any other we’ve ever known.
Not squeezable into any mould
Can’t be labelled and pigeon-holed
Constantly surprising and yet constantly consistent
Unceasingly working and yet completely at rest
Intangible, Invisible and yet Alpha Reality
Love unfeigned and unforced
Pure Light, no shadows
Wisdom clear and true
Immovable friend
Unwavering Defender of my cause
Supreme Emperor of the Universe
because truly the universe
and all that’s in it is Yours
King who should be obeyed without a question
yet, respecting us… giving us freedom to choose
You are complete in Yourself
And yet You seek us, Your people
To be the fullness of You who fills all in all!
speak peace always

“No gap between your words, your actions, your motives. Showing the same picture to all, no different faces fordifferent people.” This is just what He has had me thinking upon for the last few weeks. This is exactly the wholly transformed life He wants us to grow into, no compromise with the old self or the world, just wholehearted beings reflecting Him perfectly. Matthew 5, last verse (38?): “You must be holy (perfectly formed), for your heavenly Father is holy.” His children must show that they are indeed His, and not the offspring of adultery, by revealing that they have inherited His own nature. We must have our Father’s eyes, hands, His love. Sorry, getting a little carried away here! But it really has been much on my heart lately.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, that is what I have been mulling over too these last few weeks… Integrity… I like what you said about us being His children bearing His nature. I have been reading through Jeremiah, and what struck me was that the people of Israel just didnt get it. What God calls us to is so rich – intimacy with Him, and flowing out of that gazing and abiding, integrity – His character is born in us…
