Who He Is : The God of All Comfort

I love listening to those who speak of God,
from the standpoint of knowing Him.

The Fruit of Intimacy : Boldness


What Comfort is there apart from God? 

There is only a fleeting glimpse, a moment of pleasure on the lips, 
a lifetime of striving : for the welfare and comfort of others. 

We bounce as light trapped between two panes of glass,
in this frame of life, frustrated by distractions and the dangers of ill desire,

investment -  of our time and our attention,
the most valuable of possessions

for with them we feed and are fed.
We choose our direction..

Tilt-shift outside the Boxx

to gain the benefit of His perspective, 
Eternity  first,  then Time secondly. 

at the Dawning of Truth, we rise to aim,
and seek to share in anothers' burdens
to add of our value our two red cents
to life :  the meaning and measure of love.


...Oh how He loved us first.

"We are here for but a moment,  how we wither as the grass. "
-Moses Psalm 90

 
The pursuit of happiness, is fleeting and soon forgotten
The pursuit of wisdom leads to joy,  and life eternal



"Abide in me,  for apart from me ye can do nothing... "
Hermit Crabs realize that they need protection, 
Contrary to their name, these highly intelligent creatures are social by nature
and will help one another out by locating homes and offering their shells to their friends 
They also  are marvelous decorators.

He is Eternal, from Him we come, and to Him we return.   

The Truth is breathed out by Him,  and all facts point to Him
His fingerprint is felt in the majesty of creation.
It is right to give him thanks and praise.
The Father, of Time.
Built time for a purpose,  
El Shaddai,
The Most High - who set the wheel in motion.

He Outside of Time..  before His gaze all things are. 

Quanta to Quasar,  all reality dances 
all is provoked to singing ...to His praise
He is the Lord of the Dance, and the Lord of the Sabbath  
The God of Motion and Rest .  

When we make our Home In Him...
earthly perceptions of life and time and circumstances,
of expectation and desire drops away, like a veil.  
There is only His presence, and the function of Will, 
to obedience,  to the bending to His will..  
Breathed into by His Breath
Our hollow finds origin and ending
in the pleasure of His smile.

All is set in its order, 
all forms find their functions
matter finds its meaning in Him
As Flesh to Spirit,

The waters of our circumstances
become still and calm as a sea of crystal clarity


It is the Holy Spirit who is the Power behind the Preacher,
He is the Lesson behind the Teacher





His wings... feel... as feathers,  downy soft,  and in the shadow of his wings, 
all  the world is open as possibilities.. Endless as the fields for planting.
