In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth
O Lord,
You spoke creation into being
You took delight in Your work;
You named the Heavens, the Seas, the Day and the Night.
Every living creature exists at Your merciful hands.
My every breath is a blessing given to me from You, o gracious Lord.
How delightful are your sunrises, and yet nothing gives life and light like Your presence.
How breathtaking are your mountains, your valleys, and yet the highest of heights could never compare to the height of Your majesty and power.
How wonderful are your lavender, lilies and roses, and yet they have no beauty when compared to the wonder of Your righteousness and holiness.
How creative are You, O Lord
You are the source of all colour
You are the source of music
You are the source of the senses
You are the source of life
And there is none but You who is worthy of glory, of honour, of power and all praise.
Amen!
John 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
In a world where I am lied to again and again, you have spoken His words of truth to me. You have called me precious and treated me as such. You remind me that in His eyes I dance in white dresses and that my scarlet stains are gone forever. You have seen my hands and my feet and you call them beautiful. You have seen my tears and heard my heartbeat and you have rejoiced in the way that I am wonderfully and fearfully made. You hold me in your arms and I am reminded of the warmth that He created. Each kiss is a moment of delighting in His creativity. I love you and you love me and so many times you have made yourself last. You marvel at creation with me and when my breath is taken away by the world that He made and saw was good, you stand by me and let Him take your breath away too. Your love for me is an extension of His love for me. When a woman is loved well, she opens up like a flower. And I have bloomed in our time together. You have taken my hand and encouraged me out of the darkest of moments, so that together we can step into His glorious light. I love you, my darling.

God of Wonders // Third Day
++++++++++++++++++++
This is a song that blessed me greatly this morning, and I pray it will bless you greatly too - please purchase this song legally if you enjoy it.
It is a really beautiful, wonderful day out. On days like this, it amazes me to remember that God spoke it into creation. Creation declares His majesty. Each flower petal, each leaf, each ray of sunshine, each star. The sparrows, the rabbits, the giraffes, the lions. Creation is groaning for Christ’s return, when He sets all things right. He holds it all in the palm of His hand. Creation knows that Christ is Lord. I am longing and praying for the day that all of humanity will know it too. Precious Lord, reveal Your heart to me.
