a look back

Back in October last year I posted a spoken word piece by Amena Brown. Recently I've read back over it and thought about what it actually means to me. When I read it, I get this image of an almighty God. He is bigger then we could ever imagine. He is so many things to so many people. He is all the things listed 'Father, Creator, Sustainer, Life changer, Pride breaker, He is truth, hope, love, strength, escape, rescue, safety' and loads more. His love reaches all people of every race, background, culture. He created all the earth and all living things in it. He heals the hurting, He gives hope to the hopeless and comfort all those who mourn. He cares for everyone regardless of whether they know Him or not. He is this great being and yet.... He still wants to take the time to get to know me, out of the billions of people on the earth that He could take His pick from, He says I want to know you, to know the little things that make you smile and that make you frown. He looks at me and no matter what I see, or what anyone else sees, He sees beauty. No matter what a mess my life is sometimes, He sees righteousness there.

In Psalm 139 v 7-12 it talks about how there is no where you can go to get away from God. No matter where you go He will be there. Whether in lightness or darkness, He is there. He is everywhere, looking for you, looking to bring His child back home.
