Intimate Moments with the Lord

Nostalgia.
I feel this way when I look outside.
When I see the sun.
When I see the sun on the trees.
When I see trees.
Basically anytime I see creation.
I smile.
God smiles.
We smile together.
It's the best way I connect with Him.
Creation.
Oh, how I love the outdoors.
Breathing in clean fresh air and just staring at the beauty that surrounds me.
It's breath-taking.
It's dazzling.
Wow, God, you really knew what you were doing!
I get an overwhelming sense of awe, love, and admiration for my Creator.
I feel like He has His arm around my shoulder,
as He points out different parts of His masterpiece.
"Do you see the grooves in that tree bark?
The way the sun hits that branch and the shadow it casts?
The way the water licks at the side of the river bank, never going past where I tell it to?
The way the world seems peaceful and slow when snow is falling?
Or the way the green grass is like carpet?
I made it first you know - the grass came before carpet!"
Mmm. Intimate moments with God.
Whether they actually happen like that or not, it's the closeness I feel that matters I suppose.
It's the loving embrace.
The nearness.
The knowledge that no matter what's going on,
I can take a deep breath and look outside and be reminded of the Father's love for me.
When I am weak, He is strong. Wow. What a great reminder.
