Lofty thoughts, which become ideals and hopefully–actions like forgiveness, freedom, 

liberty, holiness, purity, redemption, atonement, justice, retribution, love,

kindness, patience, or equality begin as seeds planted in the souls of mankind by the Spirit

of God hovering upon the treasure of the universe. As we mature to grapple–chew and

swallow these, they break through concrete barriers with rapid force and power like a

mighty coursing river in early spring. The expression of these profound gifts to the

world is carried in rusty narrow pipes called language—which is both precise and

inept at once. When we lay eyes on the Creator someday, in the form of Jesus, the

volume and weight of such attributes —expressed with feeble words—will burst their

confining conduits. We will finally, fully understand the depth, breadth, height, and

magnitude of such glorious benefits, bestowed by a holy God when we are granted to

approach unapproachable  Light and fall enfolded and safe in that beautiful knowing

of stripped-naked acceptance.
