Spring

As im sitting out on my front porch, Im seeing and feeling God's presence. I see Him in the setting sun. I see Him in the new life coming forth in the blooming trees and budding flowers. I hear Him in the bird's songs and quiet breeze. 1 Kings 19:11-12: "...But the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice." Winter always seems like a testing time for me, Throughout this winter, i felt like i was in an earthquake, and in a fire, and in the wind. Seemed like trouble after trouble. I wont go into details but I felt cold. I was waiting to hear God's voice, feel His presence. Like the verse says, He didnt speak to me during the troubles. I still continued to draw close to Him whether i felt like it or not, but still i had trouble hearing Him and seeing His love. It's on a beautiful evening like tonight when i see His love for me. His love whispers to me in all of His beautiful creation. He loves me more than it all. Thinking about that always blows my mind. I want to always be able to hear His whisper even amongst being in the middle of the city surrounded by the sounds of traffic, trains, and the neighbors rap music, through His creation. You can see His love for you, if only you simply look.
