God never shows us the entire picture, it's like an onion, He peels each layer back one at a time and reveals small glimpses to us. Only recently has he pulled off a couple at a time. I have to admit my relationship with God has been in all seriousness and obedience for a very long time. Lately, He's come so close to me, He's begun to joke around with me and show me greater things than I have ever seen.
There are days when I'm out and about and He tells me to take the long way home. I drive along in the silence, taking deep relaxing breaths of air and looking around. The sky is so awesome and I admire it every day, only lately He's shown me how He shows off with it. It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining and all of a sudden it's raining without affecting anything but my windshield and I laugh telling Him how great I think that is. These are the moment of life when I get to just be.
We were created to be loved, for worship, for great parties that are going to take place in eternity and it is in these moments I wholeheartedly understand being in the Father.
He's so close I can feel Him, the warmth of His smile over his precious child. It's amazing and I didn't have this until now.
He uses the wind to kiss me, He brags about the way the trees wave to me from the side of the road and we laugh about the silliest stuff, things that come up on road signs,sayings on the tags of people's cars, things that are rolling around in my mind and sometimes He fills me with laughter at nothing just so He can hear me laugh.
My relationship has become a relaxed familiarity I've never experienced before. I have this inner peace that can't be disturbed by anything and I'm not willing to let anyone steal it from me either.
I wish everyone would take hold of this and run with it, it's so awesome and beyond words sometimes, even though we all know I seldom run out of words.
It's so easy, to have a relationship with Him. I don't have to do anything, there are no fervent on my knees, or laid out in the floor kind of prayers and that's alright. I don't have to try to be anything other than me and I am all He wants. We talk all day long, bits and pieces of conversations, me talking out loud to Him, so I won't talk out loud to myself and some days I can't distinguish the difference. LOL.
He is the author and finisher of my faith, He is my Daddy who loves me, He wants to do great things through me and I'm a willing vessel. There are days when I feel like I'm jumping up and down with my hand in the air screaming "Send me Lord, I'll go!"
