"Come, children of God, and understand that it is the Lord Jesus who wants to work through you. You complain of your lack of fervent love. It will come from Jesus. He will pour divine love into your heart so that you can love people. That is the meaning of the assurance “ the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit”; and of the other word, “the love of Christ constrains us.” Christ can put in you such a fountain of love that you cannot help but love the most wretched, the most ungrateful, even those who have tried you the most. Rest in Christ, who gives wisdom and strength. You do not realize how restfulness will often prove to be the best part of your witness. If you please and argue with people, they will only understand that you are striving with them. It will only be as if two men are not in agreement and are struggling on an earthly level with each other. But if you will let the deep rest of God envelop you, the peace and quiet and holiness of heaven will open the heart of the listener to hear the words you speak."-Unknown
Let me just ask this-have you ever witnessed a miracle? Have you ever tasted the bitter sweetness of Him? Have you ever heard a cry of victory ring out clear through the Heavens? Have you ever wept so hard you thought that you would collapse? Have you ever been so wasted and empty yet filled to overflowing at the same time? These are just a few things that I can put into words taht have happened just over the past couple days.
What is it? Why so many dramatic things all thrown together? I don't have an explanation for you, I can't even tell you the reason. I know that what I have been in is His glory. It is a thing that I fear and am in awe of. Some thing I never want to pass me by. It is too awesome for words and too wonderful to paint you a picture.
Jesus is powerful. He is faithful. My Savior takes interest and delights in us. I know He is Sovereign. May He be praised and lifted high.
Today as we stepped into the Garden of the Gods my breath was taken away. But then it hit me, even though these rocks were amazing I would not allow them to cry out first. I can imagine that they could echo their cry across the universe, but today was not their day. It was ours to proclaim His majesty.
Coming back after the portrait session we were once again filled to max capacity with a tons of information. Learning about how powerful an image can be was incredible. It's like music, you can control a persons emotions by a few lines of a melody. And with just a mixture of color and a subject you can captivate a person through photography. Realizing that you hold so much sway over a person's emotions was something that blew me away. Going from that aspect and then to learning about landscape photography was, to me, fitting. Being able to portray the glory of Jesus in and through His creation was powerful to learn about.
On the way to the final shooting location I was completely struck by His goodness. It was been prominent in every aspect of the week so far. He has shown Himself in so many ways that normally you wouldn't even take the time to notice. We arrived at our destination to the golden glow of the sun about to set. It stole your breath as you were enveloped in the fading light. His goodness was there among us, and tomorrow is another day!
