(From the Visions of Shiloh)
A miner dug for precious ores and then began producing gems from the ore. He took a walk on the beach and found an old, golden ring in the sand. He picked it up and carried it with himself.
In a house on the beach – he worked with gems and fit the ring with a diamond. He was not just a craftsman, but also a King.
Then a great wedding occurred with the king wearing his crown, a sword on his side and a cape. A bride stood by with a thick veil. The King began to lift her veil.

What is this work that God has done? He created the world and made the heavens. Why did he do that? What was the purpose?
My friend, he did this for you. He mines out the ores of life in this place, the gems he planted in your very heart. He finds that old everlasting ring; the one buried in the sands of time, so he can fit those beautiful stones, the ones he made from your life and add them to his eternal promise. Because God loves you like that.
He dresses in the best for you. He is ready to commit to you for eternity. He deserves all of your praise, but he will settle for all of your love. When he lifts the veil, you will see him and you will be perfect then. So why did he make the world and the heavens?
For you.
