Love is life

I've wasted several minutes looking for an image that will capture what my words will fail to express, without success. This picture of a road through a redwood forest is close. The drive to church yesterday was not my usual Sunday morning route. I was driving on 4H Camp Rd, at a certain spot I had an elevated view of the road ahead, a ribbon of roadway surrounded by a forest of tall trees, an oncoming vehicle that look minaturized by the overwhelming size of the trees stretching toward heaven. It was in that moment that a sense of the awesome realization of just how small we are compare to the vast "bigness" of God. In those few seconds I could see the road ahead, the slow moving vehicle...the surrounding trees...it was breathtaking. Like the first time you view the earth below from the window of a jet. The panoramic wonder. Yet, for all our limited vision allows us to see, think of God's view...seeing not only the view before Him from His perspective, but also He sees the beginning and the end...all at once. The moment was beautiful, thanking Him for the reminder of His presence in the beauty of His creation, and for the peace in knowing that He is bigger than any trial, temptation, struggle or challenge. In fact, He promises His blessings, through it and on the other side of it, if we love Him. That's where we need to focus our attention...Loving the One who sees you from beginning to end, the One who is far bigger than any issue life can throw at you, He is the One who offers a full life of His blessings...for your love. Love revolution is zoe-life.
