picture: a Light wind

This is the picture that the Lord gave me: I am watching a person approach the Throne, where Light shines so brightly, it is accompanied by a physical wind. A wind that loosens up the dirt that covers the person, leaving it as a cloud of dust behind them. The person is literally stepping out of their covering of dirt, pure and clean as they face and walk into the Light.

our God is a consuming fire
burning away the filth of us
that we may stand before Him
refined by the intensity of His light

must we scrub our skin raw
till it bleeds beneath the stains of our sinful humanity?

no.

for no matter the washing
nor the scraping of our nails upon our dirty flesh
though we be torn open
scoured to our very bones
we will find only the filth of our core
defiled by the heart
and unchangeable by human means

no!

oh Hope
You do not leave us as we are
oh Light
You shine on that which is unfit to be seen
and with our eyes upon You
stumbling toward the promise of true Life
we are made clean

Wind and Fire
consume us as we are
and let us stand anew before You
without blemish, stain or fault
made pure not by our breath
but by Yours

Psalm 36:9 “For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light.”
