A Simple Note

 

When I look to the mountains,

I see You . . .

I’m awed by Your breathtaking majesty and unparalleled might.

 

When I look to the valleys,

I see You . . .

I find shelter in Your overshadowing protection and Your gentle guidance.

 

When I look to the rivers,

I see You . . .

I am witness to Your unrestrained, dynamic power.

 

When I look to the oceans,

I see You . . .

I try insufficiently to capture Your vast, fathomless, uncontainable love.

 

When I look to the seasons,

I see You . . .

My eyes plainly see Your orderly, unforced rhythm of creation.

 

When I look to the sky,

I see You . . .

And all at once I shrink at

Your ENORMOUSNESS. . .

and my smallness.

 

When I look to those around me,

I see You . . .

I am grateful for Your compassion, for Your grace, for Your mercy.

 

When I look for You

I will find You . . .

You, walking beside me,

Your guiding hand securely holding mine.

 

Your love is never far from me.

 

For everywhere I look,

I see You . . .
