The Gravity of Righteousness

There is a mighty gravity,

A singularity,

Large it looms.

Inevitable, inescapable, unfathomable - 

A gravity that all-consumes.

Eternity lies at its horizon,

Drawing hungry hearts

and thirsty spirits

to His will.

"So come to the waters,

You who thirst;

And you have no money,

Come, buy and eat."

"All you hunger and thirst

For righteousness

Shall be filled."

Today I beheld a vision of a black hole, and I heard the Spirit of God say Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” I understood this in part, but still the overall meaning was abstruse. A black hole is inescapable. Jesus also said that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will not escape having that hunger be filled and that thirst be quenched. But what does these two things mean? I believe God was showing me that just as nature abhors a vacuum, righteousness (right-standing between God and man or between man and man) also abhors a vacuum, and those who desire it shall receive it. 

If you seek righteousness, know that the only way is through Jesus the Messiah: 

1 Corinthians 5:21 - 

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Isaiah 55:1 - 

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts,

Come to the waters;

And you who have no money,

Come, buy and eat.

Yes, come, buy wine and milk

Without money and without price.

Matthew 5:6 -

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

For they shall be filled.

The Coming of the Light

To gaze at the heavens

To hope for the skies

What do we seek?

What do we hope to find? 

Is there peace or joy or love

Beyond this world,

Looking down on us from above? 

Our hearts yearn

For a tranquility

Like a mist rising from a morning pond,

The hush of snow falling on a winter’s morn,

The din of waves breaking on sea’s edge,

Or the cool breeze on a midsummer’s night

Refreshing our bodies and minds

As we peer into the skies.

There is something more,

The stars sing 

of the glory

And the coming of a king -

One who brought peace, joy and love

And eternal life from above.

So look up 

Sing, sing

of the coming of the light

We want peace. We want love. We want these ethereal things that seem so elusive on earth. From whence do these desires spring forth? From whence do these thoughts prick our hearts? Do they emit from deep within our souls? Are they but shallow thoughts, hoping against hope that there is something more, something beyond this feeble and broken life? Our hearts are grazed by love. Peace passes over our minds. Joy sings a gentle song beyond our sight. Faith stands in our dwellings like an empty fireplace looking at us with a question - what will you do with me? Beauty sings to our souls incredible stories that feel untold. There is a burning, a yearning, a wish that will not go quietly into the night. 

What is peace without a standard? 

What is love without an example, a sacrifice? 

What is joy without singing? 

What is hope without yearning? 

What is faith without trusting in something?

What is beauty without meaning?

What is life without purpose?
