I heard these lyrics today, "Your love, brighter than the sun, more beautiful than words could ever say. This endless light shining over all, it leads me to your glory everlasting (Hillsong United)."
Even at this moment I can't explain in words what my spirit was feeling; however, i remembered a picture I took a few months ago that captured this experience perfectly.
The night I took this picture, I remember sitting at the kitchen table, consumed by my own little world and surroundings, journaling to God and praying for His embrace, His presence, His love to overflow over me. I went over to the window and cracked the blinds and what I saw was an explosion of light right outside my door. It was the most beautiful skyline I had ever seen and I was overwhelmed that the God of the universe would answer my prayer and that He would reveal to me just a sliver of His glory and His presence. That night stuck with me because it was a lesson to me that the world around us is only dark and lonely when we keep our eyes focused on our own surroundings, but when we open that door to God's plan and purpose, He reveals Himself to us. No matter where you are, no matter what your surroundings may look like, no matter how you feel or what you are going through, the God of the Universe wants you to crack the window to your heart and allow His light and His love to penetrate your soul.
God meets us where we are, for me it was a Wednesday night, at the kitchen table of my apartment and yet to this day I look at this picture and I see not only beauty and wonder but I see that my God is faithful to meet with me in every detail of every day. He meets us right where we are.
"Love unchanging. God your mercy fades and I'm surrounded by Your compassion and Your grace.
Your love brighter than the sun, more beautiful than words could ever say. This endless light shining over all. It leads me to your glory everlasting...Your love amazing, fills my heart and I sing out. There is none like You, There is nothing like Your love."
