Truth vs. Judgement

Many hold so tightly to their flesh, and do not recognize nor understand the spirit. Man, triune as God, sees but one part of himself; Chases after the fulfilling of that part, and thus finds himself empty by two thirds.
And we look at one another with these eyes through a veil. And with those eyes we judge one another. We judge one another by acts/ by what is seen, as men who would claim that action unveils the soul; Not word or thought, but deed.
And what does God say? He looks at the heart. That which man finds impenetrable, God can see. And He reserves final judgement for the day when the two parts separate from the one part. When we will kneel before a great white throne where seated on one side is The Lover that bears the marks of our sins, and He will either say "I know you" or "I never knew you".
And so I look onto final victory where man cannot judge me. Until then (& because "the one part" will continue to struggle against "the two parts") my actions may prove in one moment Whom I believe, yet in the next may deny Him. My words may at one moment reveal Who has saved me, and in the next moment may dim Him. My thoughts may in one breath be of His Great Love, and in the next be of worldly things. But my heart will continue to cry out to Him. My soul will thirst for Him. My spirit will only rejoice in Him, and when I bow my head upon heaven's floor my Redeemer will recognize me, and will share with me His Kingdom.
