"True Beauty"

You know what I think is beautiful? How God reveals Himself in so many subtle ways and in the most mundane things so that even the most simple of people could experience that feeling of longing, that sense of something way bigger and out of our control. Like there is something more to life than our own petty, selfish little worlds. No matter how hard the world tries to get rid of His Presence they won't be able to...because to do that they would have destroy their very bodies. Funny that we are actually made in our Maker's image, there is no way that we could escape Him. He is in the trees, the water, the earth, the very air we breath. And yet people still wish to deny him. Why? When you think about it, it's against our very nature to deny God.

Today I was reading a poem that a student in Michigan wrote. This young man talked about nature, and reaching up towards the heavens, and how everything returns to it's natural state someday... and I could just feel this hidden desire, like this kid knew there was something better. Like he could just almost taste it but didn't quite get it all. He wasn't a Christian. And yet he Knew. Isn't that awesome...God doesn't need our help, He wants it, but He definetly doesn't need it to make Himself known.

Sometimes His Presence just hits me, usually when I am totally still, and then I just sit there and enjoy being in the company of my Lord.

Peaceful, and that feeling is with me, I wish I could explain it, but it is totally out of this world, supernatural.

You know..the world has no idea what it is doing to itself, denying itself of this pleasure, of this belonging.
