The shadow was perfect with every detail.  It was a sunny morning; the bird was eating at the feeder.  I could only see his shadow. He must have been very hungry by the motion of his shadow.  I could not see the actual bird but I believed he was there.  I could not know for sure the bird was eating, but I had faith he was.

 

The movement and outline of the shadow were intriguing.  I could almost see the real bird in my mind.  I couldn’t see the color of the bird’s feathers until I changed the angle of my line of vision, then I saw the bird as he really was. I could see so much more beauty and color. There was no comparison between seeing the bird in a shadow and seeing his color in real life!

 

When I see Jesus face to face there will be so much joy. I know Jesus is here beside me.  I can’t see the details of His face but I can see how He works.  Things are that could never have been without His love and intervention. 

 

I believe He is with me.  I know the peace He gives me.  I know the sustaining strength that is not my own.  I know the thoughts beyond my ability to know.  I know how those thoughts can bring success to impossible situations.  No, I can’t see the details of the face of Jesus but I know He is smiling. I know His arms are around me, protecting me. 

 

By faith I know Jesus is beside me just as I knew the bird was there eating at the feeder. Soon I will see Jesus as He really is and there will be no comparison!

 

 

 

“……but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall, as God’s children,
resemble and be like Him, for we shall see him just as He really is.” 

1 John 3:2
