Dear God,

To come into your living presence is like stepping into a gentle breeze on a dry, hot, summer day.  It causes me to want to take a deep breath, to fill my lungs with life-giving air, and to let every parched place within my soul feel the pouring down of living rain.  A smile spreads across my face at the wonder of it all.

We so need your gifts, O Lord, because every gift is you.  When we need light in our darkness, we come to you and see tiny details of life rising around us.  When we need hope, we drink from your cup.  When we need mercy, we reach out our hand and feel the dramatic touch of your hand reaching back.  We do not have to cry and plead, we need only surrender into you.

Amazing God,
there is
no god
like you.
You fill us
with life.
You breathe
your air
into us.
You touch us,
inspiring us
to look up
and out
for scenes
of your
living grace.
You love us
like no other.
Thank you,
thank you,
thank you.

Love always, Andrea
