It's an aerial shot, looming over the trees. Green grass, two solid, barely visible trees, a white hammock, God, and me. He is holding me as I sleep and we slightly sway in the wind. "Hold You In My Arms" is playing softly in the background.
That is the most real image of God I have ever experienced. The intimacy of that moment is overwhelming to me even now. The safety I feel as his strong arms enclose me and he lulls me to sleep. It is one of those moments when I realized how much God longs for me and how well he knows me. He knew that that image is the best thing in the world to me. Now I long for more I long to know more sides of him. I long to see his numerous personalities. I want to know more than what this small mind knows. He is unending and my knowledge of him is so finite, so microscopic. That is my prayer: to know more images of God. I want my mind to be a scrapbook of moments that I have discovered another facet of him.
Reveal yourself, oh God
Make yourself known
I long for your love and your anger
Your grace and your mercy
Your giving and taking away
Reveal yourself, oh God
Make yourself known
I long for you, my God
for your glory to be shown
I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ.
