The glory of God in the face of Christ
Total Eclipse of the Son
A solar eclipse illustrates what happens when my desires consume me. Desire itself isn't the issue. God wants us to desire and enjoy His gifts. The issue is: I tend to want His gifts more than Him.
Ever feel invisible? A blind man in Jn. 9 can't see nor is he seen. Except by himself. He likely sees himself as others do: Unworthy of notice. But Jesus notices. His broken heart has broken God's.
I'm glad God loves me. But I also want love with skin on! Yes, this want could eclipse my desire for God. Yet He wired us for love and said it isn't good for man to be alone. So He hurts for us whenever we are.
