Crickets rub their wings together as if playing in a symphony orchestra. Frogs harmonize an alto hum while the fireflies illuminate the night. The branches of the willow tree reaching down to the Earth sway along. Everything woven so perfectly in time. All of these performing such a complicated piece with no one watching but me, only it’s not for me at all. It’s all for You.

If a flower blooms in the wilderness where only You can see, it’s whole purpose is to glorify You. If You, Father, created the tiniest of things to bring glory to Your name, I can only imagine what You must have created me for. The excitement you must feel when I walk along the path You’ve had paved out for me before the foundations of the Earth were even laid or when I hold Your hand as You walk with me through that valley. Oh what joy it brings to love You, to trust You. To know that I was made to bring the Kingdom down to show people a glimpse of You, to bless Your name always, to live out my life to glorify You, the creator of the universe. 

The night becomes still, the stars and the moon hide their faces. The creatures rest. You’re here, You’re sweet presence surrounds me. Rest my love, my truly beloved. For I know the plans I have for you and oh how beautiful they are. I delight in you, I take joy in molding your heart and directing your path. You are my daughter, my child. You will dwell in My house with Me forever. Tears streaming down my face as I fall that much deeper in love, the breath in my lungs tingle as I gasp for air.

You make me lie down in green pastures. You lead me beside still waters. You restore my soul. You breathe the breath of life into my lungs. Your steadfast love crashes over me and all I can do in return is weep praises of Your name. Father You are kind. I will exist to worship You, to glorify You, to be a mere reflection of You, the one I love the most.
