To Know the Love of God
A Late Evening Meditation

I write this to those who have died in the faith, awaiting their release and transformation; the completion of the work of sonship.’

It is interesting how many concepts we have as we sojourn in this path to sonship.  I know the scriptures say that it has not entered the heart of man those things God has prepared for those who love Him.  And I know the scripture that says, My ways are not your ways, neither My thoughts are your thoughts….

We have come to understand that as long as we dwell within the soul that it is virtually impossible to fathom what God is truly doing, both within the larger picture of His plan in the earth, but also, the depths of what He is doing within His sons.

We cannot fathom because within the structure of the mind of the soul it is impossible to know God’s thoughts, for we do not have the capability of even grasping the truth.  It can be likened to the presence of the Lord; for we know the Lord dwells in unapproachable light.  Although we are the sons of Light, we are still in the process of coming into His presence.

What does it mean to come into His presence.  It means in one respect that you have experienced a deep enough transfiguration that His presence becomes something attainable.

Where are we headed?  Whether this side of the veil or the other side, we are headed into a life in His presence, a life in the unapproachable light of His countenance.  Perhaps we have considered that if we transition to the other side of the veil, that this becomes accessible.  But we realize that is not really so, for it still remains for the work of the purification to be completed.  Whether spirit, or spirit, soul and body; in whatever fashion we may find ourselves presently.

As the layers are removed from each of His sons, there are many changes that happen.  A deeper awareness.  A greater clarity.  A new set of eyes and ears.  A whole and entirely new life where your anchor point becomes spirit.  A change within the structure of your physical manifestation, that no longer reflects the soul, but a body that begins to reflect the spirit of who you are.

As much as we may love the Lord, we have yet to enter the deeper levels of this experience. 

What happens when the layers and the shackles are removed?  More than any other release I can imagine, I believe we are able to experience our deep love for Him.

The song of Solomon was either a mistake to be added by the Council of Nicea, or, it is truly a depiction of a relationship that we are to have, a relationship so encompassing, so entire, that even in our moments of deepest worship, we are still light years away from grasping how deep this love relationship is anchored within our hearts.

Perhaps the greatest unveiling to the sons of God in this hour, is not the unveiling of a knowledge of the Lord and a knowledge of who they are and have always been;  but an unveiling of this deep and intense love relationship with the Lord and the Father, that has been – for a short season- hidden or veiled by the flesh nature.

How deep is our love for the Lord.  Deeper than the deepest ocean.  A depth that transcends everything that we are.

Is this something we can fathom?  No, not from the soul level.  This is beyond emotion;  this is a love beget of the spirit that is not wrapped in the emotions or perceptions of the soul.  A realization of a love so far deeper and greater, something which has been a deep reality within our spirit.  Only waiting for a time of unveiling – for with the unveiling of the Lord Jesus Christ, within the sons, comes an unveiling of this love which truly surpasses our ability to understand at this juncture.  But it is coming.  A love so far beyond what we have known, so much more encompassing.  A love that truly envelops every aspect of what we are.

What will drive the events and changes that are yet to unfold in the earth and every other created level;  this love of God that has been beyond what we have understood.
