how marvelous.

i serve a God who is magnificent in the midst of frustrating and difficult circumstances. HE outshines earthly garments and ribbons and trappings with HIS otherworldly calm. that blessed assurance that HE sees, hears, and is here is an absolute treasure to me. HIS movement in me, that turns my heart towards HIS, is unmistakably tangible. that voice that is so unlike my own, naturally, commands my utmost attention and interest because of the mystery that it is so unique from any human invention.

it is like powerful drum beats, muscles swinging, tendrils whispering, a noise-drowning melody clear as crystal and thick as mountain ranges that laughs when necessary and angers when righteously appropriate. this God i serve... cannot be confined to my inadequate words, but i hope could perhaps be illuminated briefly by my earnest attempts to describe HIM.

how marvelous. how wonderful. how saving.
