Land of the Free

The 20th day. One more, and I will resume the formalities of a "normal" life....I wonder how open the heavens will be above me. I expect the full egg white and yolk caboodle. Cracked wide open.

I thank God that I am here to conceptualize and visualise the great width and depth of Your gret proportions of forgiveness, mercy, compassion and perpetual desire to see good for me; even when I and the pretenses of humanity suggest I deserve less. Being here alone to witness this in the physical sense, Nature, is an act of grace that overwhelms me. My gratitude extends beyond the verbal expression. But I want to say it anyways. Thank you.

Today I thought about one of the greatest risks You took. You showed Your vulnerability to us. Us. Jesus was Your personalised "I love you", Your Hallmark's, hung on the cross for the world to see. When I think about how we are made in Your image, I think about how our ways are so different. You dared to boldly say "I love you" and revealed Your weakness, while many of us have an aversion to saying those three magical words, particularly to that one person. The words that allow people into our hearts and God's. "I love you" is the key to our treasures: our hearts.

I want to feel fierce: unadulterated in front of man and God.

I don't want to leave this place.
