Nature
Nature is a connection between that of mankind and a higher being, Jesus Christ. Throughout his creation God has left his fingerprints for man as he works his way through a journey to see God. Nature reveals God's own identity and the desire for man to seek more, to know more of an Almighty creator. Each piece of God's own creation echo's a simple, yet powerful reminder for man of whats to come if he continues to seek the Most High and wrap himself around the masterpiece of God's beauty. When man digs his feet deep into the shallow depths of the ocean water he can be reminded of God's never ending love. One can find His love within the crashing of the ocean waves. Just as the waves always find there way to the sandy shores, so does God's love reach His people. Waves may crash down hard with power and strength or may slowly fade into the scene with a sense of suttleness and simplicity. Let this be a reminder a God's voice in your life. God provides answers in several different ways, shapes, and forms. He may answer you upfront and outright reminding you of his strength, power, and prominence in your life. Yet, God may answer with simplicity as he whispers into his child's ear "I love you, trust in me, and everything will be okay." As the ocean waters fade far beyond the human eye and off into the horizon let this remind you of His power that stretches to every end of the earth, where every single individual can be reached. A reminder of God's perfection is given when a mother looks deep into the eyes of her newborn. Let His spirit be felt as one becomes wrapped up in the midst of the wind. At first glance the wind might not be visible, but if one looks closely, at the movement of the high meadows or as the leaves of a tree make their swift journey to the ground, you know the wind is there. Just as the wind is felt, so is His Spirit, just look around you. Everything that an individual can lay their eyes upon was breathed by the Spirit Himself, the breath of God Himself. Allow the Spirit to work in its mysterious ways. You'll know its there, by the touch in your heart, by the goosebumps that consume your body while in worship, by the tear that stops as it rolls down your face because of a God who wipes it away and wraps his arms around his child. May we always be lost in the mysteries found within the stars. Let them be brought together to remind you of a masterpience centered around the mercy of God. The God who watches his children fail time after time, star after star, yet redeems them no matter what and under any cirumstance. Christ, a merciful masterpiece. Nature, a reminder for man to seek Christ.
Unholy Broken
Unholy broken
Things left unspoken
Im down on my knees
Begging you please
Because ive hit this wall
This constant freefall
Unto your name im going to call
Where to begin
But to find you within
Throw them aside
Through you ill abide
There comes a time for a change
My heart to rearrange
Ive realized your glory
Through a speechless story
For one must come home
From this world that we roam
Through all of your grace
Im set for this race
To see your desire
As you've lit this heart on fire
Things left unspoken
Im down on my knees
Begging you please
Because ive hit this wall
This constant freefall
Unto your name im going to call
Where to begin
But to find you within
Throw them aside
Through you ill abide
There comes a time for a change
My heart to rearrange
Ive realized your glory
Through a speechless story
For one must come home
From this world that we roam
Through all of your grace
Im set for this race
To see your desire
As you've lit this heart on fire
Found
My hearts unsteady
But Lord im ready
My feet are shaking
For what you are making
I am desperately tired
But ill do whats required
Give me the strength
To finish this race
Put a smile on my face
Let me move to your pace
Im lost in this moment
But your love is so potent
I look to the sky
And wonder why
But your love is near
Now I see it so clear
Im lost in your mystery
But your grace you have given me
Ill take the stand
As you hold my hand
In hope to make the right choice
Ill listen to your voice
Ill go where need be
As long as your with me
But Lord im ready
My feet are shaking
For what you are making
I am desperately tired
But ill do whats required
Give me the strength
To finish this race
Put a smile on my face
Let me move to your pace
Im lost in this moment
But your love is so potent
I look to the sky
And wonder why
But your love is near
Now I see it so clear
Im lost in your mystery
But your grace you have given me
Ill take the stand
As you hold my hand
In hope to make the right choice
Ill listen to your voice
Ill go where need be
As long as your with me
Tourn
Through the faithless years
All the prideful tears
Lord, please wash away all of my fears
I cant help but hide
And hold them inside
Learn through you to abide
Im falling apart
Don't know where to start
Father, clean up this heart
In my eyes im a fool
Lord consume my soul
Unwrap this heart
Tear it apart
But I can feel
That you love me still
Now its time to strive in your will
All the prideful tears
Lord, please wash away all of my fears
I cant help but hide
And hold them inside
Learn through you to abide
Im falling apart
Don't know where to start
Father, clean up this heart
In my eyes im a fool
Lord consume my soul
Unwrap this heart
Tear it apart
But I can feel
That you love me still
Now its time to strive in your will

Just a thought...
"The difference between a life with or without a Savior echo's a choice of an external heart or an everlasting heartbeat..."

Let It Be
Deep in the sand
You’ve left your footprints to follow
Somewhere they’ve faded
It’s harder to swallow
In order to follow
The path of the Potter
I need to walk
And swim in the water
The waves are rough
And each one more incapable to bear
In my heart, deep in my soul
I know you are there
If I turn left, right
Or even behind
The path is so easy
Yet hard to rewind
For you call me
To go straight ahead
Just like the father
Who rests his child to bed
The waves will collapse
The storm will scream thunder
Though I’m drowning in fear
You’ll pull me from under
One day the waters
Will lay at rest
And ill realize that always
Your plans are the best
So Lord let me follow
The plan set for me
Whatever you have stored
I will ‘let it be’
You’ve left your footprints to follow
Somewhere they’ve faded
It’s harder to swallow
In order to follow
The path of the Potter
I need to walk
And swim in the water
The waves are rough
And each one more incapable to bear
In my heart, deep in my soul
I know you are there
If I turn left, right
Or even behind
The path is so easy
Yet hard to rewind
For you call me
To go straight ahead
Just like the father
Who rests his child to bed
The waves will collapse
The storm will scream thunder
Though I’m drowning in fear
You’ll pull me from under
One day the waters
Will lay at rest
And ill realize that always
Your plans are the best
So Lord let me follow
The plan set for me
Whatever you have stored
I will ‘let it be’
Father to Son
Ive heard these stories
Of all His miracles and glory
Dad, Who is this man?
That they say can make the water stand
It all seems like just too much
As he heals the weak from his touch
For people come to stand and sing
In awe of this mighty King
Dad, One day I will see
What this man has done for me
The dad bent on his knees to keep it clear
As he whispered in his little ones ear
Son, next time you fall sleep and dream
Ask Him to show you all of what He means
And he said…
Son, grab my hand and hold it tight
Im gonna show you what I did one night
See the heights of these vast mountains
The water that flows like raging fountains
The stars that ever shine so bright
Sun and moon that hold the light
The mysteries held within the sea
Im gonna show what they mean to me
All the movement of the wind
Creatures at play around the bend
May it all remind you of what Ive done
And how ive sent my only son
For little one I came and died for you
So that all your wondrous dreams come true
Now that you can see
Believe… and follow me
Of all His miracles and glory
Dad, Who is this man?
