Poor Reflection (Mar 6th)

Hey everyone my bad I've skipped a few days! Sorry.
------------

This life is not all. It is an "unfinished symphony"....with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt "the power of an endless life".
~Henry Ward Beecher~

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
~1 Corinthians 13:12 (NIV)


Brit's 'put

Allot of people including myself have had to read this verse a few times over to understand it; it can be kind of confusing. It's kind of cool though because today in school (language arts) after reading "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, I read this verse. I'll try and dissect if for you and let you know what I think....

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror: right now we see but a poor reflection of what life is and how important it is – and also what a poor reflection this earth is compared to heaven.

Then we shall see face to face: when we see the Lord face to face (when we die)

Now I know in part, then I shall know fully: Now I only know part of it, but when I am with Him (dead) I shall know fully; I'll see the whole picture and understand how important the small things were

Even as I am fully known: even as God knows me fully and life fully

Right now we can't see clearly how important life really is; only after we've lost it will truly be able to see. But then we will be in a place so much better than here. So know that also this world is such a poor, poor reflection of what is to come.

Hopefully I explained that in a way that you can understand what I think...
