worship!

I wrote this a monthish ago right after I returned to Texas. One of the things I have learned to delight in is creation. It used to feel so vast and lonely and now it feels a lot like home... The picture is from one of my 2 favorite spots on the Bogazici campus... I miss the hill...*sniff*

Freeing surrender I find today at home with the breeze and satisfied in your creation.
You made it all for our delight and to praise Your great name.
As I drink it in here I remember the simplicity of loving you and being loved by You Jesus.
All the things that seemed so pressing before are swallowed up in the hugeness of all that is Yours Lord.
I see again how small I am and how insignificant a part of the whole.
My life, my fears, my achievements can’t shake His foundations or even cause a single leaf to fall.
Like a child my spirit soars at the adventure of God’s creation constantly unfolding around me.
Just as the wildflowers – I don’t need someone to witness my life, my spirit, my beauty – I can simply be, knowing that the Living God takes joy and delight in me, His creation.
The trees, the flowers, none of it demands from the Lord but simply receives with gratitude whatever the wind brings.
These trees, flowers, and fields understand greater mysteries than I have yet to grasp – their joyful submission.
Thank you Jesus for rest, peace, and homecoming in the midst of Your creation.
Joining with the Earth to worship You today Lord!
