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

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

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
