To listen: background soundtrack.
‘You are beautiful beyond description’ worship music continues in the background… ‘I stand in awe of you’.
What am I standing in awe of on an everyday basis? Am I placing my wonder and my trust in my Saviour or the distractions that fill my day?
On a gentle breeze, breakthrough arrives when it’s least expected. The touch of morning sunlight, the frangipanis in the front garden, a slice into a peach from our tree. Gifts, God’s goodness poured out. My life is more than success, schedules and even mothering.
This is our deepest yearning, to know God. Yet how often our souls do not pivot and move toward truth; here, begin here, He is listening. Draw near and He will draw close to you. (James 4:81-10).
He is beautiful beyond description.
If I am to humbly accept truth that must mean I must also humbly reject all that is not of Christ. There is not room for everything in my soul (despite my soul wanting to believe there is room for everything).
If I am standing in awe of my Saviour, and He is beautiful beyond description, what then is my life but to live for Him?
There is nothing that compares to knowing Him.
On a gentle breeze, breakthrough arrives when it is least expected: I forget myself, and I remember all that He has done on the cross, the breaking and outpouring of His Son so that we may live in eternity with Him and Glorify Him forever. This moment and all of this earth is a breath that is snatched by the wind, here today and gone forever.
I frame my mind against this truth and I cannot comprehend the depth of this reality – we are His. He says, ‘call me Father’ and ‘I am your Shepherd’. My soul has found rest beyond what words can describe.
