we are like butterflies.
but first, we must accept the process before the transformation.
the ugliness of slithering in the dirt,
the loneliness of the cocoon,
and the pain of the change.
we are two broken little creatures,
groaning and writing,
finding our way.
but you, are by my side as we reach our completion.
we are learning to become more of what God has intended.
we are learning to become beautiful.

my heart has hardened.
as I grow older and look at this world,
it all makes me turn my eyes away and ponder where the love has truly gone.
where the wonder has gone.
when life was filled with colour and eager expectation.
i want my heart to be so open, and filled with love, that when the world sees me, they see Christ.
let my pride wither away, as with my flesh,
let me be humble, and fall on my face in constant awe.
let me not pull away and hide from the agony around, that my heart becomes bitter and enraged.
oh, let your love change us, o God, I pray.
It's in the sound of the rain falling from the skies and hitting the ground.
The dulling of the clouds, hiding the sun's rays from reaching this little corner of the world.
The lightening that strikes and the violent thunder that speeds up the beating of my heart.
There's so much more I could say, how when I experience the earth, and when I look around me, it all points to You.

How could I escape You when even the sound of the wind rushing through the trees, whispers your name?

I close my eyes and listen to the birds, and I know it sings Your song, waiting patiently for Your return.

How wonderful it is, that it's Your hands that so tenderly formed every one of its little feathers.

You, my God, are Splendor and Majesty. Like the fields of flowers, filled with endless beauty.

Like the ocean blue, that rages and stills, washing us completely, covering all the earth.

Yes, how beautiful you are. More than I'll ever fully know, yet one day, I shall look upon Thy face, how terrifyingly wonderful the thought.
The LORD is strong and mighty.
Courageous, like a strong Lion,
Raging like a wild tempest.
there is nothing that He cannot do, nothing that could withstand the power and holiness that encompasses Him.
He is enthroned in glory, seated in honor,
none could surpass Him.
none can measure up.
He has created all that the naked eye could see, and all that it cannot.
He is the Master of the Cosmos and the sustainer of Life.
He is the LORD God, inhabiting Eternity, He is Holy.

and yet, He is my LORD God.
He is my Savior who took it in His hands to deliver His people from the grave.
He is closer than the breath I breathe, and greater than all the world's treasures and beyond.
Blessed be the LORD. I will praise His wonderful name, Amen.
What you do in this life matters. It matters to God whether you are living for His glory or your own. And what you do today, impacts your tomorrow
if I could, my darling,
I'd take away all your pain within a heartbeat.
I'd stay with you until all the sorrows are gone, as we wait for time to heal,
as we wait for the Lord to turn the mourning into dancing.
let me stay and love you, I plead. I can't give you much, but I desire to give you my heart.
is that enough? would you let me hold you when the days are dark and uncomfortable?
is it too much to ask from a simple human being, is it too much to expect, too much to do?
oh, but how I want to love you that way.
let this be a godly desire, filled with the love my precious, Savior gives.
but how could I, mere human, love you fully and completely?
perhaps, this is how He loves us.
Greatly, vastly and intimately.
He loves us, patiently.
He loves us, perfectly.
He loves us, without a blemish.
He loves us, righteously.
i was lost,
and Jesus found me.
even when i wasn't looking to be found.
now hallelujah, for He persists to share Himself with you too.
