"Even if I want to run, it isn't really what I want -- what I want is Him, even if I don't believe it. If he made all this existence, you would think He would know what he is doing, and you would think He could be trusted. Everything I want is just Him, to get lost in Him, to feel His love and more and more of this dazzling that He does. I wonder at His beautiful system and how it feels better than anything I could choose or invent for myself. I wonder as I gaze up at the night sky, this love letter from God to creations, this reminder that somewhere there is peace, somewhere this is order, and I think about how great His Kingdom is, and is going to be, and I wonder, in this rare and beautiful moment, how could I ver want to walk away from it all."
Donald Miller - "Through Painted Deserts"
This quote spoke wonders to me tonight. I am thankful a friend of my reminded me of this truth. How amazing is our God. How can I look around at all of creation and not see the beauty and creativity of the one who made it all? And how could I see all these things - and not desire to draw near to him?
He is worthy of all praise, glory and honor. And on a daily basis - I give him not even half of what is owed to him but he loves me all the same.
