Everywhere

I see and hear God everywhere in my life.

I hear him in the wind sighing through the pine boughs outside my window. His voice roars in the creek thundering through its rocky canyon beside the house. 

I see him in the soft blush of first morning light and in the triumphant shout of a flaming sunset.

I hear him in a favorite song, in the sweet voices of friends.

He comforts me through scripture and the kindness of strangers.

He is in my sorrows and my joys, in my thoughts and in my heart.

I never want to experience a moment without Him.

Lord, keep me close to you, always. Amen.

 

 

Come and See

And God said to me, “Come, and you will see.” John 1:39

Come and see how to forgive when forgiveness seems impossible.
Come and see how to trust when there appears to be no hope.
Come and see how to believe regardless of the scorn from unbelievers.
Come and see how the hard things in life are made softer through faith.
Come and see how beautiful I have made this world and all My creation.
Come and see how often I will carry you, hold you, and kiss your tears.
Come and see, My beloved child, how much I love you.
