That Which Hath Been Is Now

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been.

Time traps us in its forward flow.
We cannot go back.
God is not bound as we are.
His is the past, the present, and the future.
All are one to God.
The Prince of Peace knows
What was, what is, what will be.
From the beginning until the end,
The Almighty's will prevails.
We must remember
That we move on a larger stage
Than we can comprehend.
Only when the curtain falls
Can we begin to understand.

Sadness

I am filled with sadness today.

Memories of the past haunt me.

Too many loved ones are gone.

I am alone.

The Psalms bring comfort.

"Weeping may endure for a night,

But joy cometh in the morning."

Let my night be over.

Let morning come.

Lord, be with me.

Time

We seek to trap God in time with us.

We are bound to experience existence

With the flow of time.

For us, there is no going back.

For us, there is only the future.

Is God so ensnared?

I think not.

God stands outside of time

And beholds all of creation:

Past,

Present,

And future.

For God, all is now.

Through God's grace, we escape

The chains of time

And experience

The Eternal Now.
