His presence displayed

I knew He was waiting, so I got up and hurried down to meet with Him. As I found Him sitting at the table I rushed over to join Him. I sat down with a smile and excitement because I knew our time together was going to be great. It always is! 

I looked up to greet Him and this is what I saw. 

"The heavens tell of the glory of God. The skies display his marvelous craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or a word; their voice is silent in the skies; yet their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to all the world. The sun lives in the heavens where God place it. It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race. The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight to life. Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true: each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to those who hear them; there is great reward for those who obey them." Psalm 19: 1-11

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Your beauty brings joy to my heart. Your words nourish and quench my thirst. Your presence in me is more precious than the air that I breathe. The warmth of You the One true Son brings my soul to full bloom. Let it sprout Your beauty for all to see. Amen
