Prayer to Jesus

Prayer to Jesus:

laurenwilk:

As we appraoch God in prayer we find in ourselves a two-fold personality. We are aware of a part of ourselves which is always more or less in contact with others; they see us, know our manner our life, behavior, tastes, and our probable reactions; they would say they know us, even intimately. But we know that there is a part of self, the real me, which not the most intimate friend, not even my confessor knows; a self of whom I, myself, am not fully conscious, and which cannot be expressed, for there is more of “me” both good and bad than I am able to make known to anyone. This side of “me” is lived alone, withdrawn; so much so that we are conscious of an inner loneliness as we find that we are unable fully to express our inner most feelings, or make ourselves entirely understood by others. We cannot really even understand ourselves, yet we are aware that the elusive intangible “me” is our real self.

There is only One who knows this true self; to One alone can we lay our innermost selves bare, sure of being perfectly understood; One “From whom no secrets are hid”, who sees us always, not only as we happen to be at any particular moment, but as we are meant to be, and as, with His help, we may become. He needs no explanations nor excuses. To others we have to make known our thoughts by expressing them in word or action. But before God we may be still and silent, with no need of words. “O Lord, Thou has serached me out and known me…. Thou under-standest my thoughts afar off. Thou art acquainted with all my ways” (Ps.139:1,2

“

and it shall come to pass afterward,

that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and daughters shall prophesy,

your old men shall dream dreams,

and your young men shall see visions.

even on the male and female servants

in those days I will pour out my Spirit.

“behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “we are delivered!” - only to go on doing all these abominations? has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?”

Inspiration sometimes comes from the most unexpected places. I find that a lot of photographs that I am drawn to resemble paintings, but not many of them resemble paintings in the way that this image does. I knew that it was a photo (Cameron’s “Kiss of Peace”, 1869 - thanks internship), but for the first 30 seconds that I was looking at it I mentally classified it as a sort of Raphaelite painting. Maybe it’s because of the almost overly exaggerated heaviness of the eyelids, both of the kisser and the kissed. The soft, wispy motion in the masses of hair and small space of gentle tension between the lips and the forehead are almost alive…in a strange way that the rest of the composition is not. Yet, despite this, I think that it could very easily pass for a cold sculpture or gravestone angels. Truly one of those small things that gives the observer chills because it is so other.
