You leave me awestruck

You leave me breathless

All of You Lord

All of You Lord

We scale mountains

We roam the seas

Searching to be in awe

Because you've set eternity in our hearts

Eccl 3:11

In his funeral sermon on Dr. Livingstone, Dean Stanley worked out a thought of a kindred kind. The earth, he said, is, broken up by seas and mountains, so that the nations seem destined to live apart; but in man’s breast there is a thirst for exploration and discovery, an unquenchable longing to know all that can be known of the world in which he lives; and as this desire takes shape in action, obstacles vanish, and all ends of the world are brought close together. The fact that the world is thus set in man’s heart, so that he is prepared to explore it, to understand it, to use and to enjoy it, is surely a proof of design in Nature and of the wisdom and goodness of the great Creator.

Dear Father,

Your word amazes me.. it is a bore to those who cannot fathom, myself included. Seek wisdom before opening it,.. and the same sentences look so different at the 10th read. At once I feel like I am caught in a magical realm, not unlike the wizarding world of Harry Potter.. for you are a God of miracles. And I believe in miracles, and magic, because I believe in You.
