All Around Us


I pray that we would, in the day before us, get an unexpected whiff of heaven, that we would see Your presence in the faces and circumstances around us, and notice Your fingerprints and movement and follow Your exceptional rhythm.  I pray that we would not be timid to taste the things that You have prepared for us to both share and receive and to know the community that You long for us to have. 

Hebrews 12:1 (The Voice) So since we stand surrounded by all those who have gone before, an enormous cloud of witnesses, let us drop every extra weight, every sin that clings to us and slackens our pace, and let us run with endurance the long race set before us.

No one said it would be easy, but great is the reward for those who accept the invitation and lace up their shoes to run after Him, who keep walking and listening as He speaks, who kick off their shoes to dance when the music plays.  The rhythm isn’t always the same and sweet will be the joy He brings as you find your pleasure in His care.
