A Glimpse Through Elyon's Eyes

I'm not going to pretend to know how Elyon sees the world. After all, He is infinite, He is a god, in fact the God. So being a mortal, I will never fully understand how he sees things. But sometimes, I feel like I get a glimpse. Perhaps it is only a glimpse, but it is still a wonderful thing. And on that occasion when I am gifted with a glimpse, it is always a view of Elyon's most treasured creatures. His very favorites, humans.

We all know that Elyon looks at the heart, not the outward appearance, yes? We also know that as humans, we are corrupted at the heart, we have been ever since Eve's teeth penetrated the flesh of that forbidden fruit. That forbidden fruit was from the tree titled "The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and evil." We already had knowledge of good, but through this tree, we really did receive knowledge of evil. Ever since then, at the heart, we are at battle. It seems as if humans are torn between the two. It's not only ourselves, though. Angels and demons (Roushium and Shataiki, for you Dekkies) fight over each heart, in hopes that Elyon or Satan (Teeleh) might win over, respectively.

So if we have a partial desire to do evil, and Elyon looks at the heart, He can see the inky blackness. It can be erased by only Yeshua (Oooh, I so badly want to say the BoHC name, but I don't want to ruin anything. If you know it, you know it, though.). But we continually sin, even after our drowning in the red lakes. This is where my point comes through. It is my belief, anyways, that when Elyon looks at one of his beloved humans, He knows the evil is there. He is God, it cannot be hidden. But when He looks at us, the ones he died the ultimate death for, we are not creatures of sin. We are beautiful and pure, as we were originally supposed to be. He looks at us as our sum of good, not of evil.

I am not saying He ignores our evil, please don't think that. But His beautiful beloved is perfect, through him. And He see the lost horde as they could be. Sometimes, I get a glimpse of this. When a young child does a fully selfless act out of pure kindness. When there is pure laughter and joy. I see a person, in this state, and now I can truly understand why God loves humans. We are beautiful. The problem is, this state fizzles. I always try to see people through to that potential goodness. It is a big help when you are trying to love the unlovable, to the extent of unconditional love.

Here is a photo collage I made to help you get an idea of what I'm talking about. The center is a type of physical form of His presence, Elyon's Green Waters. The people are in this state I am talking about. Their eyes are green because.... you really need to read the Circle Series, but they are green because that is the color of Elyon, in the Circle Series. ;)



Just a side note, most of these photos, had other people in them. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." -Proverbs 27:17
