“The
LORD does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the
LORD looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7
NRSV)
Here
is a promise of being let into intimacy with God.
Our
prayers will result in joy, for they will be accepted. God will gather us in and not shut us
out. We will be known fully and
nevertheless loved completely… Life will flow.
What we do will have meaning. And
so there will be a feeling of total inclusion.
No
longer will we feel like strangers but like those who have come to the
spiritual home for which we have always longed.
