Sweet Epiphany

"The highs and lows. We call this: LIVING." -The Afters

Oh, sweet epiphanies!

Thank goodness for mercy which whispers hope: JUST IN TIME.

I recently discovered the glorious morning light of the 6am sunrise, sitting on the crest of the golf course I live on. I lay staring up at perfect cobalt sky, the dew on the endless grass sparkling like a million diamonds; just for me. Silence. Until the orange of the sun, broke through the horizon, thus turning the vast, simple beauty; into a rainbow of mercy.

That morning, it was a "lay all the cards on the table" sort of moment, with God. Either a Rhema sword of truth would come that instant and penetrate my heart, or I was at the dangerous precipice, unsure of what was next. This was my fear: That the autopilot numbness would lure me in to apathy again. The accusations were deafening. But even thicker was the silence.

But as sure as the dawn. As sure as the sun WILL RISE.

Let faith and hope also rise!

I heard My Parakletos, My Best Friend, the Spirit of Love... He whispered this Truth:

"Yet their voice [in evidence] goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world. Of the heavens, has God made a tent for the sun, which is as a BRIDEGROOM COMING OUT OF HIS CHAMBER; and it rejoices as a strong man to run His course. Its going forth is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the ends of it; and nothing [yes, no one] is hidden from the heat of it." Psalm 19:4-6

Every delicious sunrise shouts to us about the Son of Man's soon coming return! It shouts to us of the One we love! It shouts to my feeble heart of His Jealous Love for me.

Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

Here is the revelation... the worth of Christ. PEOPLE!! He is worth it all. Every trial. Every pain.

His love is an ocean wide.

This is what He said to me that day: "Your life is a perfect success, because you have chosen to spend time with Me. This can never be taken from you. Every drop you wasted at My feet is fragrance for eternity. I call your life: BEAUTY. Now you must think the same."

"The war is already waged for my destiny. I've got a couple dents in my fender, a couple rips in my jeans. But I'm free to be; Me." Francesca Battiscelli

And then there is the reminiscing of 9/11. The capture of Bin Laden. The end of a 10 year Page. Good God, it is really about the "HOUR IN WHICH WE LIVE." Sons of Ischaar, take your place.

I see the big picture. It is worth everything.

"You light up the sky to show me, YOU ARE WITH ME. Can't deny that You are with me. You opened my eyes, so I can see you are all around me. YOU ARE WITH ME."-The Afters
