Seeing Truly

In the children's book, The Spiderwick Chronicles, the main character uses a spy-glass to see the truth of the world around him. There are fantastical creatures of beauty and of horror and they have been there...here, around him, all the time. He never saw them before, but just because he was ignorant to them didn't mean they weren't there. As the writer of 1 Corinthians concludes in a passage written to the people of Corinth, he states, "now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. There is a way to see truly, see things for what they are...we have to seek this seeing out. Does it matter? To some, it won't. But to others, those who truly want to see, to live fully, it matters completely. More than life and breath, food and comfort.
