live love.

i’m tired.
today was long.
so was yesterday.

but as i walked to church this afternoon i was instantly refreshed.
the moment i stepped out of my mobile home park i was instantly amazed.
it was a gorgeous day.
the sun was shining. not too bright. not too hot. just right.
scarcely a cloud to be seen.
gentle cool breeze was lightly blowing the leaves in the tress.
i could not help but feel alive and refreshed and energetic.
the sluggishness left me instantly.
i stopped in my mind for a minute and was in complete awe.
i could not stop thanking and praising God for such a beautiful day.
a beautiful day i did not deserve to experience.
as i reflected on how beautiful the weather was i couldn’t help but think how beautiful Jesus is.
how much more beautiful eternity will be when spent with Him.
the beauty i experienced today was merely a partial reflection of its Maker.
God is so good.
Jesus is so beautiful.
words can not properly describe the beauty of a beautiful day, much less the beauty of the Creator.

Lord, You are so beautiful and magnificent.
Your creation reflects Your glory and Your might.
yet i do not always reflect You.
Lord i may i reflect Your beauty and love and power and glory in every moment of my life.
Father i thank You for redeeming me with Your son. for offering a substitution.
Jesus i thank you for abandoning Your will and choosing Your fathers.
God i praise You for being You.

tsylt.
live love.
live love with reckless abandon.
