I have beheld
“I have beheld the beauty of your astounding love.”
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Psalm143:8
Okay, so He did.
Just before I woke up this morning, I dreamt I was climbing sand dunes in Israel, peeking over the top and seeing the most beautiful landscapes ~ flat lands with water at it’s edge, rolling hills, white capped mountains, barren and unoccupied, untainted by modernization…just creation. And I marveled, grabbing my camera, knowing there was no way my camera could capture the light, the warmth of the sun, the smell, the openness, nor the wind of this place. And He created it.
…by him (Christ) all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. Colossians 1:16
An artist. A passionate expressionist. A lavish giver.
For the sake of an ecosystem in order to sustain life of his animal and human creations, but created with beauty, not just function.
Pardon the hippie moment, but how often do we stop to marvel…to behold…the vastness and beauty of His creation ~ all of it?
And…
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. James 1:18
Wonderful, so wonderful
Is your unfailing love
Your cross has spoken mercy over me
No eye has seen no ear has heard
No heart could fully know
How glorious, how beautiful you are.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
Powerful so powerful
Your glory fills the skies
Your mighty works displayed for all to see
The beauty of your majesty
Awakes my heart to see
How marvelous how wonderful you are.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
You opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on Earth is as beautiful as you
You opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on Earth is as beautiful as you are.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
And you opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on earth is as beautiful as you are.

It is good to praise the LORD
and make music to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning Psalm 92:1-2
