Divine Resonance


Awesomely awesome God, your greatness reaches beyond the farthest expanses of the heavens and all that is within them declares the vastness of your immeasurable glory

So how is it that such a tiny and unremarkable creature such as I can hold your attention and capture your heart so completely? For indeed I hold them both firmly captive

By your sovereign choice to love the unlovable and to give unspeakable worth to the unworthy I am a target of your grace, your obsession and cherished possession

I am broken, gratefully crushed in spirit and deeply humbled by the presentation of endless grace and your grand recognition which I cannot earn to deserve in the smallest portion

Your generous provision has sustained me from the moment that you formed me and your grace to share from what is yours alone has bloated the richness of my days

Where are the words to describe you, to righteously declare the wonders of your character? I cannot find them for none are adequate to paint a portrait of your perfection

There is no heart to contain the full wonders of your person - the ecstatic joy that your pure character evokes, rolls like the endless waves of the oceans in my contemplation

I am made rich beyond the counting by the mere presence of my Creator and my heart stands overwhelmed and trembling in consideration of its endless worth

Lord I make yet another request of your grace, not out of impertinence, but glorious desperation - let my heart reflect in more perfect resonance the beauty of your Spirit

Let your forgiveness and selflessness be reflected in my countenance to all that I encounter and cause my heart to radiate with all that you have shown me of your own great character

While I am known unworthy to my own accounting, you are worthy of all fame and recognition - praised upon acknowledgment and worshiped upon reflection ...

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...
