I Saw God but Now What



"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear:
but now my eye sees You." NKJ Bible, Job 42:5

If seen with our natural eye, we would surely die.
But there's seeing far beyond the physical eye.

From the largest to the tiniest Part,
Every sensory cell of my being sees God.

I see Him not as a mere entity
But as the most perfect personality.

I  'made up' a word referring to 'Job'.
His experience speaks of intimacy.

I shall call this word, 'Jobiscally'
an adjective form of the word 'Job'.

Perhaps he came as close to a visualization
of God as any human possibly could.

'Jobiscally' speaking, like Job, I bow in reverence
to God, and within me, that makes all the difference.

Never is He beholding or indebted to you or me.
God Almighty is sovereign and free as free can be.

To see The Almighty is to see less of me.
Fewer mirrors and more windows are the key.

God has a form that human forms cannot see
Until we are equipped with forms for eternity.

For now, we must gaze on and run the human race.
And then, He and we shall communicate face to face.
