These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Known

"For now we see
through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face:
now I know in part;
but then shall I know
even as also I am known."
(I Corinthians 13:12, KJV)

--------------------------------------------------------

"For now we see through windows, dark,
but then quite face to face.
Right now I know an info's quark,
but then I'll know the place."

Today, I question, if I'm seen,
and if you hear my voice.
I may not know what I have been,
nor if it's right, my choice.

I wonder much among the souls,
who live with me on Earth.
Communication hath such holes,
and questions 'bout one's worth.

But when we fin'lly see the Lord
in Presence ever Known,
we're safe within His living Word
with Grace, which ne'er is flown.

To live with Him as sons we're known
in blest adoption, rare.
His loving wife, His flesh and bone,
we're cherished past all care.

We're known for all we're made to be.
We're known, and loved, and blest.
We're known as chosen ones by He,
Who conquered ev'ry test.

We're known forever in His Eyes.
We're known within His Heart.
We're kept, and known past plaintiff cries,
acquitted on His Part.
