Bapa,

   You are in the wind, Lord. Your creation bends and yields before Your power. It surrenders to Your calling. The grass harmonizes with Your voice as it whistles and the trees add to Your melody as they creak. What beauty to show us, Your childrem. What music You bestow upon our ears.
   "What song could I sing that would move the heart of royalty?" Because that is what You are and more...royalty. No one compares to the glory and honor You possess and no one can truly add to the riches that are in Your keep. What would we bring before You, Lord, that would shine like Your heavenly gold? There is nothing I have that could magnify Your glory more than my life, so please use it. As much as You can...please use me. It is all that I truly have to offer You. Believe me, if I had more I would gladly give it. With joy is Your name upon my lips. With hope is it written upon my heart.


"If our purpose is to know Christ better and exalt Him more, then whatever differences we may have in our understanding of the book [the Bible, specifically Hebrews] will be forgotten in our worship of Him."  ~ Warren Wiersbe

   The heart of a father who loves unconditionally...You cannot be boxed. You are the one and only true God and You have no limits. You are beyond understanding. Our human minds cannot grasp Your glory and our eyes cannot look on Your radiance without blindness. Your creation, the earth, bowes to Your every whim and answers Your every call with rejoicing! Your creation says, "Oh, the great creator spoke to me! His command is upon my heart and His will shall be done without delay!" Your creation knows You. Your sheep do as well. It says in John that they (we) know Your voice. How could hearts be on anyone else when You know each of us by name and how many hairs are upon our head? Why would we ever deny that love? Is it because it is so overwhelming to us? Because it is overwhelming to me. To think that You love me more than anyone on this whole earth ever could and to know that You love perfectly! The one person who has never sinned! Why would You love one so flawed and guilty? You, the Maker and Creator of all things on heaven and earth, the King crowned with glory, the Shepherd...You love me. How could anyone pass up this love? We are people searching for it in this world. It is found but not chosen.
   Walk with me, please. Teach me to love others like You have loved me.
