Unseen Yet SeenSample

Unveiled We live a miserable and magical life. As youths, we have had hundreds of reasons to doubt and interrogate anything and everything. We live up to the trends, we become trendsetters, we move in the vibe of an unsettled power procreating a more daring power through it all. In such a turbulent space, where everything seems right and wrong at the same time and we decide the ambit of its definition, haven’t we felt the void, haven’t we experienced an urge to believe that there’s something more in this life that we need to search? There’s nothing in this whole universe that has not pointed to the only truth, the only love, the only way - our LORD Jesus! It’s just that for a billion times over we’ve ignored it, and even if we were in the search for it,  our ego blinded ourselves from it. The truth is unveiled when we, in faith, receive Jesus into our hearts! It only takes a second to make that decision, to profess in faith that He is our personal LORD and Savior, but the impact of it goes on for a lifetime! No one accepts Jesus after doing research and finding out the pros and cons of such a decision. It’s impossible to know an eternal God fully from a human perspective. But that is why we have faith. Faith is the first step in which we motion our mind’s eye to open! Faith in Jesus Christ breathes a new life, a new perspective, a new joy, a new hope, a new and renewed love! Faith becomes our first step and our last until we see Him face to face. Faith is all the steps in between too, that keep nurturing this onward journey. It takes an eternity to know an eternal Father! Even as Christian believers, having had made the decision long back, we too need faith every step of the way to keep renewing our sight, to keep seeing the unseen! In this pilgrim life on earth, haven’t we lived a lifetime with our masks on? Trying to fake it, trying to fit in, and trying to do everything in our capacity to grab attention? We become the joker and clown in the crazy parade with the choices we’ve made. Yet we are so hesitant to accept that we have masks on! Unveil it! Let your faith unveil it. Let your faith make you see the unseen! There’s a whole new world out there waiting for you! There is Love waiting with arms open wide to embrace you! There is a Father who keeps living a great life through you! You don’t need to fake it anymore.  Come,  just as you are to be unveiled of all your guilt, sorrow, hurt, pain, frustrations and doubts. Come,  just as you are to be unveiled to see that there’s magic in mercy, power in piety and great joy in God’s glory! Journey with Jesus to taste and see how real He can be to you!
