I wonder what our blog posts and follow-up comments would state if upon logging onto the internet our souls were entirely revealed, and everyone instantly knew everyone like God knows us. Does identifying others’ darkness bring us into the light? Once brought into the light is our darkness hidden? What if everyone saw us as God saw us. No darkness, no iniquity was out of your neighbor’s sight, and your neighbor’s soul was in the open for all to see. The commonly used verse, “He without sin cast the first stone,” would not be a scripture that was held in the recesses of our subconscious, used to exhort, counsel, and hold others accountable, but would be a truth we personalized and most certainly lived by without evoking thought.
Well, the thing is: all our neighbors’, who we may conceal all our sins from, may very well judge us on earth, but God, you cannot hide a single thought from, is the ultimate judge of our soul. Thus’ knowing that God knows and sees all, why do we cover our iniquities and attempt to reveal everyone else.
May God become so real in our lives that we can not see outside ourselves until we have gazed into the eyes of God.
