Blinded

'Create in her a sense of awe that sees Your beauty,
let Your splendor flash with blinding light.'
[Five Iron Frenzy's Something Like Laughter]

The above verse comes from one of my favorite songs. It's been my... gosh, I don't know... mantra [for lack of a better word]? for the past year or so. I just think it's a great way to say that I do want to experience God's beauty and realize His greatness day after day. My Lord God has allowed me these things, by His grace and kindness. And not just once or twice. It is a constant in my life now, and I am so grateful for this. God's beauty surrounds me in the people and world He has created! Cliché? Perhaps. But it's how I feel and I'm not going to make excuses for my feelings. And God's splendor does flash with blinding light... if you take time to focus on the throne of God, you will understand. Yet through these flashes of 'blinding' light, my eyes have been opened to many things.

[His goodness.]
[His faithfulness.]
[His power.]

And to how greatly He loves me.

I am so blessed.
