How can I even begin to put into words? It's almost as if the beauty of it all makes it indescribable. A new lesson every day in the mercies of every morning. Going from not knowing why the Lord chose me to knowing that regardless of how I "feel" it's the TRUTH. Leaving it all behind to follow Him because He said, "Go."
Over the past six months, I've found myself here among the mountains of northern New Mexico only to discover that in this place of solitude, I'm not alone. I've been beckoned to visit the High Places with My Shepard. He's called me to a new level of heights in His Kingdom of Love. In the moments where I've wanted to give up because of the path's difficulty, He's been there. Not annoyed, never quick to get angry, and never dissappointed. Always gentle, always kind, and always pleased.
In those moments, my heart realizes that it's all true: He loves me. He chose me. Maybe I"ll never understand because it's a love that's too overwhelming. "How can I even begin to put into words? This transformation that occurs in the prescence of His greatness?" The storms have ended. The life which comes from water has burst forth to produce a endless sea of green. And the roots have grown deep. The wind blows in silence yet its sound has become more defined in my ears. The stars at night know their names are unique as they play their role of shining. The sun feels closer to touching. And the mountains have yet to be climbed.
I have seen the deer roaming free in their natural habitat, peacefully feeding and drinking from the flowing rivers. Just when I begin to think, "It's all so wonderful, Lord" I hear: "It's only the beginning."
