You Are...

God, there is no life greater! I want the world to know that but they don't see You like I see you. They don't know You like that. They see a tainted version of You. One that isn't You at all. They see what man has made you out to be, and that isn't You at all.

You are the God of love. Love comes down to us, takes on flesh, endures persecution, dies a painful death and raises again - all to take on what He did not do, what we did to You. Love pursues those that run and doesn't give up. Love is patient when we rebel and works to change our hearts. You are love and there is nothing we can do about it.

You are the God of beauty. Beauty looks to the heart and comes from the heart. Beauty is colors that can't be made by human hands. Beauty is nature that is beyond comprehension. Beauty is Christ pursuing His bride.

You are the God of salvation. Salvation meets us where we are and pulls us out of our pits. Salvation prevents us from a doomed eternity. Salvation gives us a second chance to be a new creation and forget what is in the past.

Salvation allows us to love. Beauty allows us to love. You allow us to love because You love us enough to find and rescue our souls.

Inspired by Psalm 146
