i was captivated by this open window. The fact that it could be and was unlocked provoked me ; there was a whole new world just outside these stone walls.
The closed window panels gave a lovely mystical, watery effect. Is it not so pretty? However it is the open window that shows the true beauty of what is outside; outside of this castle, temple , or composition of dust, call it what you like.
By comparison the open window offers the truth the closed a distorted truth. As well the open window offers access the closed separation. And in some ways worse then just separation and distortion. Worse, because the closed window only offers a tease, dissatisfaction; for only the eyes can see, and see poorly. All the other senses are neglected, stifled, left wanting. No knowledge of wind its soft caresses or cleansing power . Textures and temperatures do not exist, for there can be no touch. No sweet and savory fragrances to be breathed, no scent of the fresh and living, there can be no smell. No flavors, refreshment , no nutrition , there is no taste. Without the open window the reality outside must be counted as lost, a dream, or even a mirage.
It is the open window that speaks the truth, that teaches the truth that shows the truth about life within and life without. The open window offers the only way , it invites those to come near, reach out, touch, smell and taste, and see that what is on the other side is good, so very good.
The comparison of life and death, to body and spirit, to the universe and heaven so simple.
May I reason with you that in this simple picture you can see salvation. You can see the darkness of this present age and the age of the Light of the World. You can see that without an unlocked window you might as well be blind to the truth that there is more then what you live and have today. That no matter your circumstance, especially if it is plush and comfortable, that in comparison to what comes after your life is over and dust returns to dust, there is another life to be lived . There is a greater reality that can be experienced today. The window can be unlocked for you, it can be flung open so even as you still dwell in this temple made of dust, heavens provision can reach you, sustain you, help you. Stay close to the open window!
Will you let the Master with the master key unlock the window for you?
Please know He loves you so very very much, He gave his very life for you, no strings attached! God has provided the most wonderful way for mankind to be united with Him; He provided Himself as a man, to live and die in this natural world, and then by His own great power, supernaturally, defeat mortal death and give eternal life. He gives this new and eternal life to "all" who will humble themselves and accept His Son, the Prince of Life, the Light of the World, the Redeemer, the Heir of all things...known simply to us by his earthly name Jesus , Jesus the Anointed.
Seek Him,forever forsake all others, admit to yourself and to God that you need Him to heal, forgive and fill you, call all Jesus alone and He will answer this cry from your heart. He will unlock the window and fling it open for you.
