I sat drinking my first cup of coffee--my usual saturday ritual--starring out to the park and watching the horizon. Today I sat looking not just for leaves falling from trees, but for renewl. The song "Sound of Melodies" came on and at that moment the sun broke through the clouds and streamed in so bright and bold.
It was blinding--I couldn't help but close my eyes and soke in its warmth and light. My moment with God could be explained away with attributing it to a weather pattern, but it is the feeling within my soul, my connection with something that brought such inner peace that could not be explained away so easily.
I felt surrounded and not by the usual walls I build around my heart to provide protection from the pain, fear, and hesitations I have within this life. This warmth, this renewl, this blanket of peace was greater than any wall I could ever make for myself. My protector, My God, My perfect peace--a feeling I never wanted to leave me.
The clouds quickly kept moving and the sun soon became hidden again, but it was the moment just five minutes before that awakened me to know that my God is behind every cloud and that His power can not be contained by mere human circumstance.
I can not explain away His presence
I can not attribute to words His power
I can merely close my eye and say,
"Lord, Jehovah, Redeemer--fill my soul with your light."
