Tonight, I wen't to the beach to spend time with my Abba, my God. After a few hours of reading, praying, listening, and journaling I couldn't help but stand in the waves in complete awe of my Father. This is what I wrote:
Now I stand amazed. Perplexed at the beautiful, quiet, yet ever powerful love and forgiveness of a Father who could and would never abuse any one of His children. If ever a memory I would want to burn in my memory, it woud most certainly be right now.
The most magnificent hues of violet, blue, and pink fill the sky in a way no artist could ever conjure. The gentle and warm waves crashing against my bare legs remind me of His sweet breath of life He constantly breathes into me as promised.
For years, I ignored Him. For years, I spat in His face. For years, I used and abused Him as the hope for all my dreams to come true...the American dream and a family who loved me. For years, I will give Him EVERYTHING I am and most certainly everything I am not. For years, I will love Him and worship Him.
He is my Husband, my Best Friend, my Redeemer, my Fortress. He consumes me mind, body, soul. Jehoveh-Jireh.
My God is a God of refuge. Solitude is his inner-workings and truth is His compass. He truly is THE beginning of anything that ever was, is, and will come. He truly is THE end of all evil, pain, and bitterness.
My God controls my destiny with the very same authority He controls the sun. My God takes light and scatters it against dust, salt, water, and ice particles to paint a never-ending portrait of His most beautiful character [out in the sky]. My God created the atmosphere in such a composition such that the visible spectrum and color can reach our very eyes yet the most potent of cosmic rays cannot. Yes, my God IS IN CONTROL!
