"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, ever as He is pure" (1 John 3:2,3).
Things are not as they appear,
For we would not have guessed
That we could now be brought so near
As sons of God so blest.
Lord, we see now who we are
From Your own point of view,
And by our faith we see afar,
That we shall be like You.
Let this clarity of vision
The Word of God imparts,
Turn our eyes from vain ambition
And purify our hearts.
The things we are and soon shall be
By God have been revealed,
That hope may lead to purity
As to the Lord we yield.
